Backstabbing in Beaujolais
Jean-Pierre Alaux and
Noël
Balen
Benjamin
Cooker and his assistant Virgile are back in another installment of
the Winemaker Detective series. They have been commissioned by
Guillaume Périthiard to
help restore a wine estate in Beaujolais. Mr. Périthiard
wants to become a major force in the region where he grew up. But not
everyone is happy about his plans. Things take a turn for the worse
when one of his new employees dies while out hunting.
While
overseeing the restoration of the vines and wine making equipment
Benjamin and Virgile must find out who is behind the murderous
attempts to sabotage Mr. Périthiard's
business interests.
Once
again the authors have written an interesting mystery full of
beguiling characters, descriptions of delicious food, wine and
scenery from the French countryside. I can't imagine a better way to
spend a lazy afternoon, than with Benjamin and Virgile traveling
around Beaujolais looking for answers to Mr. Périthiard's
problems. All you need to accompany this book is a good glass of
wine.
Thanks
to Netgalley and Le French Books for allowing me to read this book in
exchange for an honest review.
