A cozy mystery about Bordeaux wine!

The start of a wine plus crime mystery series.

Immerse yourself in French countryside and gourmet attitude with two amateur sleuths gumshoeing around Bordeaux wine country.

In modern-day Bordeaux, there are few wine estates still within the city limits. The prestigious grand cru Moniales Haut-Brion is one of them. When some barrels turn, world-renowned winemaker turned gentleman detective Benjamin Cooker starts asking questions. Is it negligence or sabotage? Who would want to target this esteemed vintner? Cooker and his assistant Virgile Lanssien search the city and the vineyards for answers, giving readers and inside view of this famous wine region. Treachery in Bordeaux is the first of the 20-book Winemaker Detective series that delves into the underworld of a global luxury industry. The world of wine is no more respectable than the world of finance. There’s money, deceit, death, crime, inheritance, jealousy—all the ingredients needed to distill a fine detective series!

Not sure yet, maybe this book that attracted me and that I just got from Edelweiss!
A meditation on escaping the chaos of modern life and rediscovering the luxury of solitude.
Winner of the Prix Médicis for nonfiction,
The Consolations of the Forest is a Thoreau-esque quest to find solace, taken to the extreme.
No stranger to inhospitable places, Sylvain Tesson exiles himself to a wooden cabin on Siberia’s Lake Baikal,
a full day’s hike from any “neighbor,” with his thoughts, his books, a couple of dogs,
and many bottles of vodka for company.
Writing from February to July, he shares his deep appreciation for the harsh but beautiful land, the resilient men and women who populate it,
and the bizarre and tragic history that has given Siberia an almost mythological place in the imagination.
Rich with observation, introspection, and the good humor necessary to laugh at his own folly,
Tesson’s memoir is about the ultimate freedom of owning your own time.  Only in the hands of a gifted storyteller can an experiment in isolation become an exceptional adventure accessible to all.
By recording his impressions in the face of silence, his struggles in a hostile environment, his hopes, doubts,  and moments of pure joy in communionwith  nature, Tesson makes a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary experience relatable.
The awe and joy are contagious, and one comes away with the comforting knowledge that “as long as there is a cabin deep in the woods, nothing is completely lost.” [Goodreads]
