Bordeaux Betrayal
Ellen Crosby
3 out of 5
This is book three in the Wine Country Series that has Lucie Montgomery running her family’s Virginia vineyard.
After Valerie Beauvais has a rather heated argument she is found dead in Lucie’s estate. Though death is nothing new to the Montgomery Vineyard, but this is surrounding the mysterious circumstances of a bottle of priceless Washington Bordeaux; you know the wine that was a gift between Thomas Jefferson and George Washington (you remember your wine history, right) Lucie is to get to the bottom of this murder and save the reputation of her vineyard before the auction that will either make or break her reputation and a local charity.
This book goes a little deeper into wine history which on the surface can be a bit interesting, especially when you get an added lesson on red wines. Unfortunately, the whole circumstance on why Valerie is murdered in the first place is a bit ridiculous. It was rather contrived and seemed as if Cosby was grasping at straws.
On a higher note, Cosby does do a little more personality development and reoccurring characters have their rather secretive pasts explained.

It can be hard to keep a series fresh and interesting, even for the most accomplished authors. Here's hoping the author gets a fresh start with the next one.
