Champagne Conspiracy: A Wine Country Mystery
Champagne Conspiracy: A Wine Country Mystery | Ellen Crosby
2 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Love, blackmail, murder, and intrigue are blended like a complex full-bodied wine in the latest installment of Ellen Crosby's Virginia vineyard mystery series, The Champagne Conspiracy. Welcome back to the Montgomery Estate Vineyard, where Lucie Montgomery and winemaker Quinn Santori have decided to bottle a sparkling champagne-like wine a week before Valentine's Day. But on the eve of a major snowstorm, Quinn's cousin Gino, patriarch of one of Napa's wine family dynasties, turns up demanding help in solving a long-ago family mystery that has its origins in Prohibition-era Washington, D.C., where bootlegging and blackmail, jazz and murder, went hand in hand. Before long Lucie realizes someone will go to any lengths to keep a century-old secret involving a scandalous presidential affair buried in the past. Can she learn the identity of the ruthless modern-day blackmailer determined to stop her before it's too late?

This is the seventh in the Wine Country Mystery series but I have not read any other books in the series which is what happens when I pick up random cozy mysteries at the library book sale. That did not deter me however from enjoying this book set in a winery in the Virginia countryside. It‘s another book off of the towering TBR pile thanks to the #roll100 challenge.

PuddleJumper That's brilliant! Massive sucker for second hand books so many of my TBR are impulse buys from charity shops 3y

Finished listening to this tonight. Another solid entry on this series and I think I‘m caught up on this one. I did enjoy the historical references on this one and getting to know Quinn‘s family a bit. The narrator did a nice job with all the accents.
