🍷Can't wait for Zoe Pascal to solve another mystery? The next instalment in the French Village Mystery Series, The Vineyard Murder, is available to pre-order now!🍷
It's harvest season in Sainte-Catherine, which means helping out with the local vineyard, sipping on wine and soaking up the scorching sun. But when a peaceful week turns deadly, only amateur sleuth Zoe Pascal can solve the case!
As summer draws to a close in the south of France, bookshop owner Zoe Pascal is helping with this year's grape harvest. Surrounded by the soft green hills of Sainte-Catherine, Zoe has spent the last week working on her friend Marcel Maurice's vineyard.
Early one morning, as Zoe walks her dog Russell, she stumbles upon a dead body wrapped in a blanket, nestled amongst the vines.
Zoe immediately alerts the local police, but when they return to the spot of gruesome discovery, the body is nowhere to be found...
Was Zoe mistaken? Has she found herself embroiled in another mystery? Can Zoe uncover who the murderer is, when everyone on the vineyard is now a suspect?
