When a late spring frost places Virginia vintner Lucie Montgomery's grapes in jeopardy, she takes steps to protect the vines -- and uncovers a murder, in Ellen Crosby's new mystery "The Chardonnay Charade." It's the second in her fledgling but already-acclaimed series of Virginia wine country mysteries.
