While
Benjamin and his wife Elizabeth are in London visiting Benjamin's
elderly father, he is called to the Burgundy region of France. He and
his assistant Virgile are needed at the Lemoine estate for the wine
harvest. Not long after their arrival, the body of a female worker is
found on a neighboring estate. Things get tricky when the police find
some of her belongings in Benjamin's rental car. Luckily he has an
alibi for the time of the murder. He and Virgile join forces with
Police Inspector Cluzel to try and find the murderer and the motives
behind it.
Once
again the authors of this series have presented readers with another
winning cozy mystery full of interesting characters, great scenery
and good food and wine. I love the fact that this story was really
two in one, with Benjamin's father in London and Benjamin's wine
mystery in Burgundy. It was also nice that Elizabeth had a larger
role to play in this story as well. I hope the writers never get
tired of creating new mysteries for Benjamin and Virgile to solve,
because I for one, never tire of reading them.
Thanks
to Le French Books for allowing me to read this book in exchange for
an honest review.
