Book of the Week: Ellen Crosby's "The Bordeaux Betrayal"

The delightfully named Lucie Montgomery returns for her third oenophilic mystery in Ellen Crosby's The Bordeaux Betrayal. Montgomery is hosting a charity auction featuring a rare and valuable bottle of wine that Thomas Jefferson supposedly bought for George Washington. When a wine expert casts doubt on the bottle's authenticity, Montgomery uncorks a hotbed of mystery, murder and deceit in Virginia's wine country. As is the case with a lot of traditional mysteries, the plot of The Bordeaux Betrayal is somewhat improbable, but it's the author's deft use of the story's small-town setting and the charms of its heroine that make it a winner.
