"More than blood seeps into the soil of an elite Napa Valley winery in the outstanding Blood on the Vine. TV writer and showrunner J.T. Falco packs his first novel with murder, competitive businesses, family rivalry, greed, sex-cult rumors, controversial farming methods, and entitlement, but his smooth plotting and attention to fully realized characters ensure that this crime procedural doesn't seem overstuffed."
"Shapiro shines in her depictions of Berthe’s life and the challenges faced by women artists in 19th-century Paris."
"Tamara and Berthe are intense and intrepid women in two very different worlds, united by blood and art, a connection Shapiro infuses with supernatural elements as she orchestrates acts of passion, daring, and determination, mixing compelling art history with zesty fabrication, full-blown romance, and cleverly devised suspense."
"[Shapiro’s] latest work is also a slam-dunk for historical fiction fans. With crafty enhancements of history, sexy updates to real relationships, and bold inventions, Shapiro lays bare the genius and passion of Manet and Morisot and brings impressionism to life."
