Jean-Pierre Alaux
and Noël Balen,
wine lover and music lover respectively,
came up with the idea
for the Winemaker Detective series
while sharing a meal,
with a bottle of Château Gaudou 1996,
a red wine from Cahors
with smooth tannins and a balanced nose.

The authors filled this book well, for its size, with a well-rounded mystery plot and background character development that left me fulfilled and entertained. They kept me guessing until the later chapters and perked my interest in the mystery.
Fun short cozy packed with suspense, historical details, explanations of issues related to growing wine, and even social problems in France. Grab a glass and enjoy!
Another clever and highly entertaining mystery by an incredibly creative writing duo, never disappointing, always marvelously atypical.
Do you like wine? Do you like mysteries? If so then I say you should give this series a shot. This was another exciting installment in the Wine Detective series.
I enjoyed this book, it was a fun and enjoyable walk through the French vineyards!
It’s the first book I read of this series but can not wait to read the others.
I think this series is quite nice to read when you need a break from more darker books.

Past and present collide. When you kill a legend, it becomes inspiration, and you can’t kill inspiration. Jeremy Corbin and Jacqueline Walls lead a calm life in a New Jersey suburb, when one day everything changes. Eytan Morgenstern returns to save them, and this improbably team must take on the Consortium, leading them on an epic journey from London to Tel-Aviv, from the Polish forests to Manhattan high-rises, from the shameful past to the threatening future. After a lifetime of bringing Nazi war criminals to justice, the Mossad operative is once again fighting those who wish to study his superhuman body. The self-sacrificing secret agent must rely on the help of his friends to finally free himself of the physical and emotional scars of his past.

French author David Khara, a former journalist,
top-level sportsman, and entrepreneur,
is a full-time writer.
Khara wrote his first novel—a vampire thriller—in 2010,
before starting his Consortium thriller series.
The first thriller in the series, The Bleiberg Project,
was an instant success in France,
catapulting Khara into the ranks of the country’s top thriller writers.

Khara never disappoints with plenty of action, enthralling thrill aspect, carnage with well timed insertions of humor. His narratives are gripping and hold your attention until the very end.
Quite an emotional read, proportionate in all areas.
Musings of a Writer & Unabashed Francophile
I absolutely could not wait to get my hands on this book. I’d already devoured the other two books in the series.
This book is a fantastic thriller, and not to be missed.
The Morgenstern Project is the best of the series so far. As far as I can tell the series grows in character development, story development and David Khara, the author, grows in writing, story and character development skills as well.
It ‘s a thriller adventurous and exciting, full of twists, suspense and mystery. It ‘s very well written, with a style and a language simple and essential.
I recommend it to those who love thrillers and novels full of action and adventure.
This is a fast paced thriller that kept me reading.
I can not wait to read more from this series.
