The Critic | Peter May
9 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
In the wine-making region of Gaillac, in southwest France, a terrible crime has been committed that shows a flair for the dramatic. The body of Gil Petty, America's most celebrated wine critic, is found strung up in a vineyard, dressed in the ceremonial robes of the Order of the Divine Bottle and pickled in wine. For forensic expert Enzo Macleod, the key to this unsolved murder lies in decoding Petty's mysterious reviews, which could make or break a vineyard's reputation. And as he digs deeper for the motivation behind the shocking crime, Macleod finds that beneath the tranquil faade of French viticulture lurks a back-stabbing community characterized by a deadly rivalry--and home to someone who is ready to stop him even if they have to kill again to halt the investigation.

Mehso-so

I loved The Blackhouse trilogy, so this was shockingly a disappointment. IMO Enzo is a sub par John Rebus… so read Ian Rankin instead.

Some thoughts:

1) Enzo is kind of… skeezy
2) wow, a character with the worst daddy issues I‘ve ever seen…
3) I think everyone was sleeping with everyone?? Or trying… see 1 … and 2.
4) oh yeah… murders happened, which obviously got overshadowed by the annoying stuff above.

⭐️⭐️

The 2nd in the #EnzoFiles series is set in the Gaillac wine region of France.Gill Petty, wine critic extraordinaire, is discovered dressed in the crimson robe & hood of a secret wine brotherhood. His decayed body is displayed like a scarecrow.Enzo,Scottish exile & forensic expert,is hired by Petty‘s daughter to investigate within the extensive wineries of the region.Of course drinking Bordeaux is essential to the understanding of the novel. 😉🍷

If you want to learn so much about winemaking, you will find that in the pages of this murder mystery. Enzo is out to solve the mystery of a wine critics death when his wine infused body is found hanging in a vineyard after being missing for 4 years. And someone is also trying to kill him. Then another body turns up!
This series gets better and better!⬇️
