The Dark Vineyard by Martin Walker
Take a little mystery, add in some fine wine and lots of charm and you've got Martin Walker's The Dark Vineyard. Bruno is the only policeman in the tiny French village of St. Denis, in the heart of wine country. First, there's a mysterious fire at a research facility. Then 2 of the locals are found dead near/in a vat of wine. What is going on?
Bruno works his way through the clues, stopping for a glass of wine here, a fresh croissant there, finally uncovering a plan that could change his beloved town forever. Along the way, we get to experience with him delightful dinner parties, town celebrations, old romances ending and possibly new romances beginning. All in all, it's a delectable interlude.
When I picked this book up, I didn't realize it was part of a series. Now I'm eager to seek out the earlier volumes and learn more about Bruno and his charming little town.
