Book club
Bookshelves are groaning with the weight of brilliant book club
reads this month, and here’s one of our faves ...
paired with a beautiful chardonnay, of course!
Judge Julia Cummins had no obvious
enemies. There was no forced entry
to her apartment, where the bodies
of her and her bodyguard are found
brutally murdered. Her ex and her
teenage son both have strong alibies,
the neighbours heard nothing, and
the killer left behind a strange calling
card. It’s up to FBI agent Amos Decker
to investigate ... kicking off with the
question as to why the judge felt she
needed a bodyguard in the first place.
And while he investigates, he’s also
dealing with personal baggage ... the
suicide of a close friend, the receipt
of a letter concerning a personal,
and possibly life-changing issue, and
a new partner. Long Shadows is
another superb American detective
tale from David Baldacci. Macmillan,
available at Exclusive Books

we’re serving Bright 2021 from the Elements range - the drawing of a swing
on the label perfectly representing Paserene’s playful side. The ideal mid-week,
easy-drinking wine, it’s made from 100 per cent Chardonnay grapes, with
fresh citrus-centric aromas that carry through to the palate, this lighter styled
Chardonnay is lovely on its own or with a light seasonal salad, any type of
poultry dish or with fresh tuna and salmon. Available directly from the Tasting
