About Featured Book: Champagne Widows by Rebecca Rosenberg

FREE Nov. 3-4, 2021 only! Publisher’s Weekly BookLife Prize: “The twinned plots of Clicquot and Napoleon Bonaparte’s rise and fall are filled with detail that give life to this far-off time. The prose is light, yet detailed, and peppered with moments of wry humor. Napoleon’s characterization is well-crafted and give his character new life. Clicquot’s character is charming, and readers will love getting to know her. Rosenberg has a superb eye for blending humor with drama.”.
Twenty-year-old Barbe-Nicole inherited Le Nez (an uncanny sense of smell) from her great-grandfather, a renowned champagne maker. She is determined to use Le Nez to make great champagne, but the Napoleon Code prohibits women from owning a business. When she learns her childhood sweetheart, François Clicquot, wants to start a winery, she marries him despite his mental illness. Soon, her husband’s tragic death forces her to become Veuve (Widow) Clicquot and grapple with a domineering partner, the complexities of making champagne, and six Napoleon wars, which cripple her ability to sell champagne. When she falls in love with her sales manager, Louis Bohne, who asks her to marry, she must choose between losing her winery to her husband, as dictated by Napoleon Code, or losing Louis. In the ultimate showdown, Veuve Clicquot defies Napoleon himself, risking prison and even death.

Can ex-lawyer turned civilian investigator Lucia Steer solve an impossible murder?

The apparent cool, calm and collectedness of a relationship counsellor, or ‘coach’ as Alec Penney called himself, is dealt a severe blow when he ends up dead on his office floor.

For all his sage advice, Alec Penney apparently electrocuted himself on a dodgy coffee maker. Well, at least that’s the theory until Lucia Steer, civilian investigator with Kentish Town CID, visits the scene.

Female intuition combined with an eagle eye leads Steer to convince senior detective DCI David Carliss that a murder has taken place.

Out of the many people seen going in and out of the office just before the estimated time of death, who was responsible?

Can Steer work out the mystery before the killer covers their tracks?
