The protagonist of this book is the family of Benjamin and its adventures, its vineyards and a little mystery to solve.
Margaux, the daughter of Benjamin, lives and works in New York and has returned home in Bordeaux for a short vacation. She is involved in a terrible car accident with a boy she had met recently and Benjamin will soon discover that it wasn't an accident: someone cut the threads of the brakes. Together with his assistant Virgile will try to find out who almost killed his daughter. In addition, the Winemaker detective must fight against the great heat wave that threatens his vineyards.
I liked a lot the family of Benjamin and their relationships: it is difficult for father to accept that her daughter is no longer a child but became a woman.
It's the first book I read of this series but can not wait to reading the other.
It 's a short reading, the pace is fast and engaging, the mystery is a little predictable but does not take away the taste of history.
If you love wine, France and its vineyards, and the lighthearted readings is the book for you.
I received the eBook free as a review copy from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review… (altro)
