Chef Maurice and the Wrath of Grapes by J.A. Lang blog tour & review

 

 

 

In the rarefied world of wine collecting, murder isn’t exactly a barrel of laughs…

An invitation to dinner at the home of renowned wine collector Sir William Burton-Trent soon finds Chef Maurice in the middle of an all-too-real murder mystery party, when Sir William is found dead in his own wine cellar.

The guests are acting all innocent, but which one is only playing the part? The pushy Californian film director? The seductive French winemaker?

Or could it be, against all narrative decency, the butler who did it?

With the help of food critic friend Arthur Wordington-Smythe, a large kipper sandwich, and the newly formed Cochon Rouge Wine Appreciation Society, Chef Maurice must get to the bottom of matters before events turn decidedly sour

 

My thoughts:

This is the second book in the Chef Maurice Culinary Mysteries.  I have read the first as some of you maybe remember and this book is just as good.

Chef Maurice and Arthur find themselves on the trail of a murderer and wine thief .  Phone don’t work, it is snowy, the passages are hidden and even Hamilton the micro-pig makes an appearance along with a frozen goose on a harrowing public transport ride.  You got to love Hamilton the wonder pig.

Lucy and Patrick continue to their courtship as it were called which is nice and the characters from the last book are again placed in this one.

The author once again has done a wonderful job.  I am loving this series and the authors writing grabs you and pulls you into the mystery. You want to help Chef Maurice and Arthur.
