Annie “Halsey” Hall was presented with a plot in the neighborhood gardening area by her friends for her birthday and she has decided that if you live in California and your friends are wine drinkers, you need to have a vineyard. So Halsey heads up to see about her plot and starts digging to turn the earth and prepare it for planting the vines. However, what turns up is not going to help her make wine - a body is buried on her land. Turns out to be a previous resident off the area that had been battling with the local historical society and a developer who wanted to buy up all the houses on Rose Avenue and build fancy condos.

Halsey and the Rose Avenue Wine Club are determined to save their neighborhood from the developers.
So much fun to see Halsey and her dog, Bardot, aided by her neighbors resolving the problems that most of the time they bring on themselves! Funny and entertaining. ( )
