An invitation to dinner at the home of

My review: Chef Maurice and the Wrath of Grapes by J.A. Lang
4 STARS
Chef Maurice is back. He gets him invited to dinner with wine collector Sir William Burton-Trent.
Chef likes food and wine he always seems to be eating or drinking. During the evening Sir William has turned up missing.
Sir William is found dead in a lock wine cellar. He has key in pocket and the other one is sealed in wax. So he was alone in a high tech wine cellar.
Chef Maurice and Arthur Wordington-Smythe decide to solve the murder themselves. They find out a lot about wine collecting even go to a auction.
Chef Maurice has his own restaurant. He has a wine cellar in his restaurant and some of his customers even store some of their private wines down there. He has a pet pig that he takes with him places.
Arthur Wordington-Smythe is a food critic and has lots of wine too. He is good friends with Chef.
This is a fun cozy mystery. I love the scene where the Chef gets stuck. I thought he was smart the way he found out some of the answers while using the cat to help him.
I have never drunk any wine and still found this story interesting to learn about it and the world of collecting wine.
I was given this ebook to read for free and in return I agreed to give a honest review of Chef Maurice and the Wrath of Grapes.
