Elizabeth Jeff

I was completely hooked from the first page. The way the author captures the fading glory of France’s vineyards and the cutthroat competition of the modern wine world is nothing short of brilliant. A must-read for anyone who loves thrillers—or a good glass of wine.

Michael R. Davies

Suspenseful, elegant, and beautifully written. The plot twists like the winding roads of Burgundy, leading to an ending that left me breathless. Noble Rot is a rare vintage of crime fiction.
