I really enjoyed this book! Mystery is not often a genre I enjoy but this was a very enjoyable read. My only crical point - is I had hoped there would be more about Dordogne - the region in France where the story primarily takes place.

Great book about strong women and a mystery
Loved it. Would read more by this author. Loved all the sister lawyers. Loved the French portion of the story. Exciting. Romantic. Mysterious. Sadness. and wine. It had it all.

I’m not sure where I saw this book set, but glad I purchased it.
I enjoyed the book and characters.
However I think I was over tired at the end and feel it was a jumbled ending. I had to reread some things. This could be due to me being tired though.
I have books 1-4, so book 2 will be going into my TBR pile.

I felt like the book didn't fit into any specific genre-it was a little bit historical, a little bit mystery, a little bit romance.

There was a lot of confusion especially towards the end on who did what when. It was difficult to keep all the threads of the story together. Other than that, the premise was good though there could have been some clarity on why the murder/murders were committed, what is so special about the wine bottle and who knew about them and so on. There was more focus on the relationship between Merle and Pascal rather than on the mystery thread of the story which took some of the fun away for me.
Read this for:-
1. France
2. Pastries and wine
3. Family skeletons

Perfectly acceptable insomnia book. A bit confusing with constant changes of point of view, bouncing with no warning between main characters and others who've barely been introduced, but not confusing enough to make me stop reading.
