review:

'Nightmare in Burgundy' is another cozy mystery set in France in the world of wine. It's the third book in the series and the second one I've read.



Benjamin Cooker finds himself in the Burgundy region to accept an honor. While he's there, he stumbles on some strange graffiti which seems to be from another era. Fragments of Latin from the Bible are found in different places in the region. He calls in his assistant Virgile to assist with the mystery and to tour the region. There are wine tastings and fancy meals. There is some flirtation on Virgile's behalf. There is also an aging monk who helps with the translations. When it's all said and done, it's not a bad mystery, and so far, not a bad series.



The authors Jean-Pierre Alaux and Noel Balen have experience in the wine world, so those facts bear out well. For those of us not familiar with France, it serves as an interesting look at a country and it's different regions.



I received a review copy of this ebook from Le French Book and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
