Someone with no taste seems like the last person who would enjoy Paris, but Olivia Beech has a good reason for a trip. She\u2019s a master sommelier\u2014a highly expert wine taster\u2014whose sense of taste has been destroyed by COVID. Before this catastrophe, she was a rising star in the wine world, and, trying to maintain her New York Michelin-star-restaurant career using only her sense of smell and the help of a trusted coworker, she has kept her malady secret. But the problem was revealed and Olivia was humiliated, and now she\u2019s trying for a job at a Paris bistro. There\u2019s only one problem: her arrival sees the poisoning death of the chef who might hire her, and she\u2019s the main suspect. Thus starts a delightful mystery set in a cozy Paris neighborhood that houses friends for decades. They have formed a quirky neighborhood watch and are determined to find the killer, bringing Olivia into their kindly fold. The clever storytelling and vibrant language that Postel-Vinay brings to the books that she writes as Danielle Trussoni are here on clear display, along with intriguing glimpses of the high-end wine and perfume worlds. Lovers of European-trip books and friends solving mysteries \u00e0 la Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club<\/em> will especially enjoy this whodunit.\u2014Henrietta Thornton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
