About this listen
"This is a mystery with Gaillac flavor to be savored" (Mystery Scene Magazine)
"A finely crafted and surprising mystery" (Kirkus Reviews)
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 - and home to someone who is ready to stop him even if they have to kill again to stop the investigation.

A French wine mystery
The mystery is intriguing, the characters are well drawn and there is illuminating information about wine making and marketing. Glad I used a credit on this one.

Another great story by Peter May
I enjoy stories that are well plotted with characters that I can believe in. Peter May has, with this one another story that delivers.
The narration by Peter Forbes is, as always topnotch.

My take on The Critic:
... perhaps a little slow at first, but soon makes up for that. Great narration by Peter Forbes as usual!

Thoroughly enjoyable
Second in the Enzo files series and it was as enjoyable as the first.
His stories are also full of forensic tidbits and you actually learn things as you listen.
And as always I love Peter Forbes narration.
