Average Rating: 
Rating: - La Traviata

This entry in the series focuses on a family owned brewery which has fallen on hard times due to family mismanagement; consequently, a large corporation has bid to take over the brewery--- but at a price which (on the surface) seems unrealistically low. The mystery opens with the murder ... Read More
