Set in Hollywood, Paris, Bordeaux, and Marseille, Peter Mayle’s newest and most delightful novel is filled with culinary delights, sumptuous wines, and colorful characters. It’s also a lot of fun. The story begins high above Los Angeles, at the extravagant home and equally impressive wine cellar of entertainment lawyer Danny Roth. Unfortunately, after inviting the Los Angeles Times to write an extensive profile extolling the liquid treasures of his collection, Roth finds himself the victim of a world-class wine heist.

This ten-year-old mystery inspires a bet—one that Enzo Macleod, a biologist teaching in Toulouse, France, instead of pursuing a brilliant career in forensics back home in Scotland, can ill afford to lose.

It was a great romp through the vineyards
Narration was well done and the characters were easily distinguishable.
The story was a hoot the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the main characters arrogance about his physical charms and libido becomes a bit redundant. He is fun though likeable enough you want him to come back in another book and dislikeable enough you dont mind when he gets the occasional kick in the balls. His roommates are my favorites they are always there for a friend man.

Ridiculous, frothy nonsense - with a kick of truth
I enjoyed this silly story, following the mostly very unlikely adventures of Felix Hart, as much as I did the first - which was quite a lot. The acidic reality regarding the wine industry helps balance the splendidly over-the-top richness of the comedy and somewhat baroque tragedy. I'll have another one, please!

For wine lovers
Another interesting read from Peter Stafford-Bow. Having enjoyed ‘Corkscrew’ I thought I would give ‘Brut Force’ a go too - maybe I should have allowed more time between reads, as it seemed it didn’t quite achieve the same easy ‘pour’ as ‘Corkscrew’. However it was good and the narration by the author himself is excellent.

She is the perfect assassin. A Russian orphan, saved from the death penalty for the brutal revenge she took on her gangster father's killers. Ruthlessly trained. Given a new life. New names, new faces - whichever fits. Her paymasters call themselves The Twelve. But she knows nothing of them. Konstantin is the man who saved her and the one she answers to. She is Villanelle. Without conscience. Without guilt. Without weakness. Eve Polastri is the woman who hunts her. MI5, until one error of judgment costs her everything.

A debut novel in the vein of Greene and le Carré, A Dying Breed is a brilliant and gripping story of the politics of news reporting, intrigue and blood set between the dark halls of Whitehall, the shadowy corridors of the BBC and the perilous streets of Kabul, in the shadowy le Carré-esque world of foreign correspondents reporting from war zones around the world. Carver, an old BBC hack, is warned off a story when a bomb goes off, killing a local official in Kabul, but his instincts tell him something isn't quite right....
