Yes, the writing and narration was compelling. It dragged a bit in places but the characters were fascinating and the detail helped bring the book to life. I could picture myself in the places spoken about.

A laid back style of reading that is enjoyable to listen to on cool Autumn days.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

France. Mystery. Wine.

Any additional comments?

Great book, I look forward to reading / listening to the rest of the series.

Great for the wine lover

Absolutely not what I thought this book would be like. To me it was as if I was taking a lesson on how to pronounce French names, cities or villages. Also similar to a course on different wines. I thought the mystery was lost in the muddle or I just didn't care anymore. If you are not a total wine aficionado then skip this book. I will not be returning to this series. The narrator is excellent and I have heard him many times. Without this narrator I would not have gotten past chapter one.
