  There were a lot of things you could call Stacey Evans. And many of them would be true. And unprintable. But did she deserve to be murdered? 
   
  DI Winter Meadows has no doubt of the answer when he takes on the case. The crime was violent. The victim helpless. But the motives are many, and the only clue is a strange word left on Stacey’s body. 
   
  DI Meadows struggles to pierce the secrecy surrounding the teenager’s busy love life. Was the killer one of her pursuers acting out of jealousy? Maybe someone’s wife seeking revenge? 
   
  But as each suspect is excluded from the enquiry, and other markings turn up, Meadows is convinced that something more sinister is afoot. 
   
  When another body is found, a veil of silence descends like a fog upon Gaer Fawr. What more will it take for the village to give up its secrets? 
   
  A KNOT OF SPARROWS is the fourth standalone title in a series of murder mysteries by best-selling author Cheryl Rees-Price. It will appeal to fans of David Pearson, L J Ross, John Dean, Joy Ellis, and Pippa McCathie.

  Corbett Thomas, a one-hit wonder back in the 90s, now works as the lead sommelier at Napa Valley's hippest restaurant. Better still, Corbett is only an exam away from becoming one of only 250 Master Sommeliers in the entire world, and finally living the life of stardom and adoration he got a taste for in his youth. 
  But the Master Comm "sit" is the hardest exam in the world. And Corbett has an unfortunate knack to self-destruct at the exact wrong moment. 
  When billionaire game designer, Brogan Prescott, asks Corbett to consult on a major vineyard acquisition, Corbett sees it as a shot at redemption...until he learns of Brogan's ridiculous vision of a virtual-reality winery. Worse still, Brogan's hiding a secret about the vineyard—one that could threaten to change the face of Napa Valley forever. 
  Even if Corbett can get out of his own way long enough to purchase the vineyard first, he'll be faced with the hardest decision of his life: take the fame and fortune he desperately craves, or save the soul of the valley he loves so much.
