Thrillers and bubbles for the holidays<br />

David Baldacci. Bliss. Long Road to Mercy introduces FBI Agent Atlee Pine<br />

might be just the thing to celebrate our last book club of the year.<br />

with a creamy porcini risotto. You’ll find it for around R165 at your<br />

local wine store or online at kronecapclassique.co.za<br />
