When Lucie Montgomery visits Washington, D.C., she doesn't expect that her reunion with old friend Rebecca Natale is a setup. But Rebecca disappears into thin air after running an errand for her boss, billionaire philanthropist and investment guru Sir Thomas Asher. Also missing: an antique silver wine cooler looted by British soldiers before they burned the White House during the War of 1812. The next morning Lucie identifies Rebecca's neatly folded clothes found in a rowboat floating in the Potomac River. Is it suicide, murder - or an elaborate vanishing act?

      When glamorous Rebecca Natale disappears before a black-tie gala honoring her boss, billionaire Wall Street guru Sir Thomas Asher—who's donating a collection of architectural drawings, maps, and other documents relating to the design and planning of Washington, D.C., to the Library of Congress—Virginia vintner Lucie Montgomery, who's Rebecca's college friend, investigates in Crosby's enjoyable fifth wine country mystery (after 2009's The Riesling Retribution). After Rebecca's clothes turn up at a Potomac boat house, she's feared to be either a suicide or a victim of foul play. Lucie joins forces with ex-investment analyst Ian Philips, a disgruntled whistle-blower who's prepared to testify before a government subcommittee that Sir Thomas is running a Ponzi scheme, but Ian "drowns" before he can do so. Full of Washington historical lore, this addictive whodunit also updates Lucie's relationship with brooding Quinn Santori, her Montgomery Estate Vineyard winemaker lover.

      Set in Virginia, this fifth installment in the Wine Country series finds Lucie Montgomery, vineyard owner, dealing with the disappearance of Rebecca, an old friend who works for a powerful billionaire. As Lucie becomes more deeply involved with the ramifications of the disappearance and her friend's complicated life, it becomes clear that she herself might also be in danger. Christine Marshall's smooth, honeyed voice makes for pleasant listening. Her skilled narration portrays Lucie as a sympathetic presence in the story. Her delivery of Lucie's mild Southern drawl is believable, yet she keeps the story moving at an appropriate pace. Listeners will look forward to Lucie's return. M.H.N.
