"The Vintage Caper" by Peter Mayle



Feeling the doldrums of the fall- not quite the Holiday Season, yet the fun days of summer and travel to far-away lands  seems at best a distant memory? You're in luck if you care to get swept away to a place and characters of a completely different world (at least to most Americans), that of the village life in the South of France. If you've loved this author's books in the past, why not take a visit once again to the region with this tale, highlighting the cuisine, the wine, and the to put it politely, the interesting natures of the people which will have you exclaiming, "oh-those-French!"


See the L.A. Times review:
Peter Mayle, best known for his bestselling "A Year in Provence," has made a cottage industry of writing about Provence and the entire South of France, with copious references to delectable cuisine and coveted wine selections. After writing mostly nonfiction in recent years, he's enjoying a return to the whodunit form with "The Vintage Caper," providing Francophiles, foodies and wine lovers a fun way to indulge their passions while helping solve the case.
