The Calla Lily Mystery series is set in California wine country, where Lily returns home to find that vineyard life comes with more danger than she expected. The first book, Lily’s Homecoming Under Fire (2019), establishes the setting and characters. The series continued with A Tangle in the Vines and Fall’s Killer Vintage, both also published in 2019, before a gap to The Vintner’s Other Daughter in 2023.
Anna Celeste Burke uses the vineyard backdrop to mix small-town relationships with mystery plots. The winemaking world provides a natural source of suspects and motives, and the series keeps a lighter tone typical of cozy mysteries.
