Story
The body of Gil Petty, America's most celebrated wine critic, is found strung up in a French Gaillac vineyard, dressed in the ceremonial robes of the Order of the Divine Bottle and pickled in wine. For forensic expert Enzo Macleod, the key to this unsolved murder lies in decoding Petty's mysterious reviews, which could make or break a vineyard's reputation. As he digs deeper for the motivation behind the shocking crime, Macleod finds that beneath the tranquil façade of French viticulture lurks a back-stabbing community characterized by a deadly rivalry.

Former forensics expert and current Toulouse professor Enzo Macleod is forced to take a break from his personal and professional pursuits when he is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Worse, though, it seems he has become the victim of someone who is trying to destroy his life - by ruining his credit, threatening him and his family, and finally framing him for murder.

Story
Forensics expert Enzo Macleod travels to a tiny island off the coast of Brittany to honor a promise he made long ago to a dead man, to investigate his 20-year-old murder. In a fascinating development, Enzo learns that the man's study - the scene of the crime - has been completely untouched ever since. In the claustrophobic environment of the island's close-knit community, where the locals have no desire to see this painful case reopened, Macleod must try to find clues in plain sight that earlier investigators missed.

Story
Seven years ago, France's top chef, Marc Fraysse, summoned the world's culinary press to his remote restaurant in central France to make an announcement that he said would cause shockwaves in the culinary community. Instead of an announcement, the reporters were shocked to find instead that the great chef had been murdered, and they left without a clue about the message the chef intended to deliver or who might have killed him.

When Fin Macleod catches up with elusive poacher and former childhood friend Whistler Macaskill, the two witness a freak natural phenomenon - a bog burst - that drains a loch of all its water in a flash, revealing a mud-encased light aircraft with a sickeningly familiar moniker on its side. Both men immediately know what they will find inside: the body of Roddy Mackenzie, a friend whose flight disappeared more than 17 years earlier. But when Whistler's face appears to register something other than shock, an icy chill of apprehension overtakes Fin.

The Chinese police have once more been forced to enlist the services of American forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell, this time to investigate a series of four horrific ritual executions in Beijing. Detective Li Yan is determined to discover just how one of the victims in particular, an American diplomat, became caught up in the slaying. And he is arguably even more determined to have nothing to do with Campbell, whom he finds simultaneously too foreign and too... familiar. The personal polarity that once attracted Yan and Campbell again strengthens their professional partnership.

Same book as Dry Bones
I was very disappointed to find after purchasing this book that I had heard the story before. It seems that the title has been changed, it was called Dry Bones before and narrated by Simon Vance, this version is much better, being read by Peter Forbes, but very disappointed to have been duped into buying the same book twice.
Enjoyed the book as much as all the other Peter May books.

Duped! This is Dry Bones by Peter May from Audible 2012!
I read the review that mentioned the fact that this is the same book that Peter May released through Audible in 2012 called Dry Bones. I checked my Audible Library and there it was! I have everything by Peter May released on Audible. I don’t like being duped though. Fine if Audible is going to re-release a book with a different (and perhaps better) narrator, but I think this should be mentioned in the book details so the purchaser can make up their own mind whether they want to purchase the same story twice. For some reason I always imagined the character Enzo MacLeod looking like Sean Connery. In this edition of Dry Bones (Extraordinary People), Peter Forbes sounds like Sean Connery, at least to me anyway. Of the two books, I would pick Peter Forbes, but that’s just an opinion. Listen to the sample of Dry Bones to see which narrator you like. Nice try Audible but you got caught out!

A huge disappointment
Apologies for writing about myself in the third person, but here goes...
Jess wrote 'this book' on the board and drew a circle around it. She then wrote 'cliched' on the board and drew a circle around it, from this she drew an arrow to the word 'this book'. Looking back she realised she wasn't finished, so with her cantaloupe melons pushing against her shirt, she wrote more words in circles and drew arrows pointing to 'this book', 'predictable', 'one dimensional women', 'irritating daughters - who you don't mind dying', 'stereotypes', 'poorly written' and finally 'random unnecessary French words'. She stood back and looked at her work. She still didn't quite understand the clues, so she typed it in to Google. Thousands of hits showed up and she sighed her cantaloupe breasts moving and straining.
Oh Pete May, what have you done, this is truly dire.
Very disappointed with the narrator who is usually so good.

Not a good book from Peter May
I normally like his books but this was like a poor man’s Dan Brown novel.
There is no suspense and the logical leaps that the characters make are nonsensical.

Creepy and badly written fixation with a 19 year old girl
I have many books by Peter May in my library and have enjoyed most. This one however has an awful, creepy and tedious preoccupation with a 19 year old’s breasts and by her 50 year old professor Emzo. A shame as the story wasn’t bad but I was so irritated by this constant weird descriptions of her breasts that I lost all interest in the story. Couldn’t finish it. Peter Forbes was good as always.

Love Peter May & Peter Forbes Reads It So Well!
I loved the Lewis trilogy and Coffin Road. This drew me on to The Enzo Stories!
The story begins in Paris.
Enzo Macleod is a Forensic expert.
He takes a bet that he can solve the seven most notorious French murders, armed with modern technology & the advances of science. Little does he realise, at the time of the bet, how much computer science will also help him to discover the killers of the first murder he tackles.
He begins his search in the catacombs below the city.
Will he be the next victim?

Well I had no idea what the book would be like but soon discovered it to be very much like the Dan Brown books in the sense of chasing clues. A bit far fetched in places but I kept going to see how it sets up the series.

Fabulous of Course
I'm not sure who I love more.... Peter May or Peter Forbes. If you love Peter May's books, this story won't disappoint. However, the constant reference to French geographical locations throughout, nearly drove me mad. So much so, that had I been reading the book instead of listening to it, i'd have given up. Having said that, I look forward to following Enzo Macleod. I just hope to god he doesn't feel the need to tell me the name of every street he walks down.
