I love reading something different. Hopefully this will be a good read.
Book: The Grand Cru Heist (The Winemaker Detective Mysteries book #2) written by Jean-Pierre Alaux and Noel Balen with Anne Trager as the translator to English from French
Source: Borrowed from Publisher/NetGalley for an honest review
Publication: Print: June 24, 2014 (The Kindle version is available now)
Description:
In another Epicurean journey in France, renowned wine critic Benjamin Cooker’s world gets turned upside down one night in Paris. He retreats to the region around Tours to recover. There a flamboyant British dandy, a spectacular blue-eyed blond, a zealous concierge and touchy local police disturb his well-deserved rest.
From the Loire Valley to Bordeaux, in between a glass of Vouvray and a bottle of Saint-Émilion, the Winemaker Detective and his assistant Virgile turn PI to solve two murders and very particular heist. Who stole those bottles of grand cru classé?
This is another series I had started reading the first issue but placed in the read later pile. It was hard to get past Starfire's horrible characterization. So, I decided to finish reading the books that I have.
Book: Red Hood and the Outlaws volume #1: Redemption (issues #1-7) by Scott Lobdell with illustrations by Kenneth Rocafort
Edition: I'm reading the single issues
Description:
AGAINST THE LAW...AND AGAINST THE WORLD!
Red Hood --- former Robin, resurrected and looking for a reason to live again. Starfire --- alien princess confounding her teammates with the mystery of her own memories. Arsenal --- formal sidekick who hit rock-bottom and is still trying to bounce back.
These three deeply damaged heroes have found refuge in their unlikely partnership...but can they pull together enough to save the world? A war has begun between the mystic All Caste that trained Red Hood and the ancient evil of the Untitled...with Red Hood, Arsenal and Starfire caught squarely in the middle.
Now, the Outlaws will have to battle reanimated warriors, genetically enhanced xenophobes and unkillable assassins in order to make sense of the battle they've found themselves in.
RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS: REDEMPTION (collecting issues #1-7) tells the tale of three heroes on a quest for redemption through the new DC Universe, from writer SCOTT LOBDELL (TEEN TITANS) and artist KENNETH ROCAFORT (SUPERMAN).
