A Beaujolais Nouveau Mystery from Le French Book
New York, New York (PRWEB) November 17, 2015 -- This year, November 19 is Beaujolais Nouveau Day around the world—the day the year's new wine goes on sale. For mystery and thriller publisher Le French Book, this is the perfect day to release Backstabbing in Beaujolais, a wine-country mystery set in France—in Beaujolais, of course. It is part of the Winemaker Detective series. This cozy mystery series by Jean-Pierre Alaux and Noël Balen is “perfect to read with a glass of vino in hand” (Shelf Awareness, starred review).
In Backstabbing in Beaujolais, a business magnate calls on wine expert Benjamin Cooker to kick-start his new wine business in Beaujolais, sparking bitter rivalries. Can the Winemaker Detective and his assistant keep calculating real estate agents, taciturn winegrowers, dubious wine merchants and suspicious deaths from delaying delivery of the world-famous Beaujolais Nouveau? Witty banter, food, wine, literature, and art are all served with a clever mystery and a delicious education in food, wine and French gourmet attitude.
