Blood of the Vine: Season Four on DVD

Benjamin Lebel is a luminary in his field: a renowned wine expert who publishes a keenly-awaited new guide every year. When the local police chief enlists his help in the hunt for a serial killer who combines murders with Grand Crus, Benjamin's intuition and his nose are stimulated by the puzzling case. They both prove infallible as he works his own investigation in the sumptuous settings of the wine-growing regions in France. Bitten by the investigative bug and welcomed by the police as an expert, he seeks out new mysteries to solve in the heart of Bordeaux and in the regions of Cognac and Champagne. Adapted from the crime novels by Jean-Pierre Alaux and Noël Balen, Blood of the Vine is a series of full-bodied, yet light thrillers!

The Sulfate Sprayer Massacre — Benjamin reluctantly agrees to meet with a business partner to discuss the appraisal of a failing estate, unaware of its tumultuous history. When the murder of a young man connected to the estate occurs during his visit, he discovers a hornets' nest of greed, revenge and family conflict.

Thunder in the Corbières — A determined author insists on having Benjamin's old articles from his youth published, but soon after dies in a suspicious hit-and-run accident. Mounting his own investigation, Benjamin uncovers a sinister plot related to an old friend and fellow enologist and some articles the author was about to publish.

Black Wine Chaos — At the first tasting of a wine that Benjamin helped cultivate, he and Matilde confront the unthinkable: a dead body in one of the barrels. Benjamin's investigation reveals hatreds, jealousy and a quest to stop at nothing in order to destroy the owner and ruin the reputation of an established estate.

Little Murders by Agatha Christie: Set One

Set One

Little Murders by Agatha Christie: Set One on DVD

Agatha Christie's world-famous mysteries are delightfully adapted in a new series of French TV movies — sexy, witty and definitely addictive! Set in the 1930s, these iconic stories introduce two new investigators in classic Christie style: Superintendent Larosière, whose passion for beautiful women is matched only by his love of solving puzzling crimes, and his young colleague Inspector Lampion, whose modern sensibilities sometimes clash with those of a less-enlightened age.

The fun comes from their combustive dynamic — the bombastic Larosière thinking he knows it all, until Lampion sets him straight. Beneath the barbs, however, lies a foundation of respect and affection. Enjoy Agatha Christie mysteries as youve never seen them before with a decidedly French twist.

This set includes:

• The Moving Finger based on the Miss Marple novel of the same name;
• Five Little Pigs based on the Hercule Poroit novel of the same name;
• The Ebb and the Flow based on the Hercule Poirot novel Taken at the Flood;
• The Knife on the Neck based on the Hercule Poirot novel Lord Edgeware Dies; and
• Sleeping Murder based on the Miss Marple novel of the same name.

In French with English subtitles.

A Conversation with Novelist Jake Parent

Omnimystery News: Author Interview with Jake Parent

We are delighted to welcome author Jake Parent to Omnimystery News today.

Jake's new novel of psychological suspense is Cristina (Modern Minimalist Press; July 2016 trade paperback and ebook formats) and we recently had the chance to catch up with him to talk more about it.

— ♦ —

Omnimystery News: How hard was it to come up with the right voice for the main character in Cristina?

Jake Parent
Photo provided courtesy of
Jake Parent

Jake Parent: Writing a female main character was extremely challenging. Obviously, the last thing I wanted was for readers (especially women) to read the book and see Cristina as some kind of caricature. I think we've all read books where that's the case. At first, I was really nervous about how it would turn out, but ultimately I spoke with a number of women readers who basically said the most important thing was to just make her human. So that was my biggest goal.

OMN: When starting a new book, what comes first: the principal characters or the storyline?

JP: For me, it's a premise and a setting. I don't really like to plot out much, but I do like to have a sense of the emotional landscape I'm about to create. I'm always trying to write stories that I would like to read. And, for me, those emotional elements are what matter most. From there, I really try not to force the story, but instead allow my imagination to do what it does.

OMN: How much of your own personal or professional experience have you included in the book?

JP: Any writer that doesn't have a fair amount of themselves in their work is probably not writing very interesting stuff. So, yes. I think there's a bit of myself in every character I writer, along with bits and pieces of other people/situations/perspectives that I've come into contact with along the way.

OMN: Where do you most often find yourself writing?

JP: As the father of a small daughter, my life is pretty chaotic. Cristina, for example, was written mostly with my little girl sleeping on my chest, in short but focused 1-2 hour sessions over the course of three months. And I think that suits me. Creatively, I'm not much of a rules-follower. I've always found sitting down at a desk in the same way every day to be stifling, though I'm sure it works great for some people.

OMN: You mentioned setting being one of the first things you consider when starting a book. How do you come up with the settings for your stories?

JP: My first book, Only the Devil Tells the Truth, was set in my hometown of San Jose, though the neighborhood was mostly fictional. Cristina, on the other hand, is set in a fiction town called Pleasure Point, though it's strongly based on a small California beach town that I used to live in called Santa Cruz. It's really a paradise, but the whole time I lived there, I always thought that such an idyllic setting would be the perfect place for a story where lots of dark, creepy stuff goes down.

OMN: What is the best advice you've received as an author?

JP: As for best advice (both that I've received and that I would give), it has to be: just keep writing. There are very few people who make a living off writing (or any art) until they've been doing it for several years. In fact, the exceptions to this are so few that they are basically statistically insignificant. So keep going. Write every single day, even if you feel like you suck at it right now. Maybe you do. But, like with anything else, the more you practice, the better you'll get. The other thing is, you have to read. A lot. Maybe more than you write. It's amazing how many writers don't read that much, or only read one kind of book. You would never hear a musician say they don't listen to music. So why a writer would think they could succeed without studying others is kind of silly.

Jake Parent's influences include Charles Bukowski, Stephen King, Maya Angelou, John Steinbeck, Honoré de Balzac, Ella Fitzgerald, John Sanford, Jimi Hendrix, Ernest Hemingway, Greg Graffin, Pablo Picasso, Rickey Henderson, and Mac Dre. He grew up in San Jose, CA but now lives in the Washington, DC area.

Pardonable Lies by Jacqueline Winspear, Amazon Kindle format

London investigator Maisie Dobbs faces grave danger as she returns to the site of her most painful WWI memories to resolve the mystery of a pilot's death …

A deathbed plea from his wife leads Sir Cecil Lawton to seek the aid of Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator. As Maisie soon learns, Agnes Lawton never accepted that her aviator son was killed in the Great War, a torment that led her not only to the edge of madness but to the doors of those who practice the dark arts and commune with the spirit world.

In accepting the assignment, Maisie finds her spiritual strength tested, as well as her regard for her mentor, Maurice Blanche. The mission also brings her together once again with her college friend Priscilla Evernden, who served in France and who lost three brothers to the war — one of whom, it turns out, had an intriguing connection to the missing Ralph Lawton.

Read our review of Messenger of Truth by Jacqueline Winspear on Mysterious Reviews.

London, 1931. The night before an exhibition of his artwork opens at a famed Mayfair gallery, the controversial artist Nick Bassington-Hope falls to his death. The police rule it an accident, but Nick's twin sister, Georgina, a wartime journalist and a infamous figure in her own right, isn't convinced.

When the authorities refuse to consider her theory that Nick was murdered, Georgina seeks out a fellow graduate from Girton College, Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator, for help. Nick was a veteran of World War I, and before long the case leads Maisie to the desolate beaches of Dungeness in Kent, and into the sinister underbelly of the city's art world.

Maisie once again uncovers the perilous legacy of the Great War in a society struggling to recollect itself. But to solve the mystery of Nick's death, Maisie will have to keep her head as the forces behind the artist's fall come out of the shadows to silence her.

Read our review of An Incomplete Revenge by Jacqueline Winspear on Mysterious Reviews.

With the country in the grip of economic malaise, and worried about her business, Maisie Dobbs is relieved to accept an apparently straightforward assignment from an old friend to investigate certain matters concerning a potential land purchase. Her inquiries take her to a picturesque village in Kent during the hop-picking season, but beneath its pastoral surface she finds evidence that something is amiss. Mysterious fires erupt in the village with alarming regularity, and a series of petty crimes suggests a darker criminal element at work.

As Maisie discovers, the villagers are bitterly prejudiced against outsiders who flock to Kent at harvest time — even more troubling, they seem possessed by the legacy of a wartime Zeppelin raid. Maisie grows increasingly suspicious of a peculiar secrecy that shrouds the village, and ultimately she must draw on all her finely honed skills of detection to solve one of her most intriguing cases.

Falstaff's Murder by Leonard Tourney

A Mystery of Shakespeare

Publisher: Endeavour Press

Price: 99¢ (as of 08/21/2016 at 8:00 PM ET).

Falstaff's Murder by Leonard Tourney, Amazon Kindle format

William Shakespeare, only 19 years old but already with a wife and child, leaves Stratford-upon-Avon to pursue a career in theatre in London. But on the journey he is robbed and kidnapped by a group of highwaymen, led by the aged, round-bellied womaniser John Falstaff.

When Shakespeare wakes up in Oldcastle Hold, Oxfordshire, without his possessions — including his half-finished Comedy of Errors — the lord of the house Falstaff denies any wrongdoing. Shakespeare becomes a prisoner to Falstaff and is asked to write to write to his father for ransom before he can be released. However, Shakespeare becomes a favourite of the benign Falstaff, and is more concerned with turning down the unwanted advances of the buxom Mercy Roundy than fleeing the household.

But things take a darker turn when Shakespeare is asked to work as gardener to the house, and he discovers the rotting corpse of his predecessor who tried to make an escape. A group of actors come to Oldcastle Hold and Shakespeare makes his acting debut as a youth who murders his lover's father, played by Falstaff. But life comes to imitate art in the middle of the play when Falstaff is discovered with his throat cut — by the very gardening tool Shakespeare was using.

Framed by the murder and sentenced to hang, Shakespeare knows his only chance of survival is to escape the mad house …
