The Angels' Share
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Ellen Crosby pours up another corking mystery with The Angels' Share, an intriguing blend of secret societies, Prohibition bootleg wine, and potentially scandalous documents hidden by the Founding Fathers, all of which yield a vintage murder.
When Lucie Montgomery attends a Thanksgiving weekend party for friends and neighbors at Hawthorne Castle, an honest-to-goodness castle owned by the Avery family, the last great newspaper dynasty in America and owner of the Washington Tribune, she doesn't expect the festive occasion to end in death.
During the party, Prescott Avery, the ninety-five-year-old family patriarch, invites Lucie to his fabulous wine cellar where he offers to pay any price for a cache of two hundred–year-old Madeira that her great-great-uncle, a Prohibition bootlegger, discovered hidden in the US Capitol in the 1920s. Lucie knows nothing about the valuable wine, believing her late father, a notorious gambler and spendthrift, probably sold or drank it. By the end of the party Lucie and her fiancé, winemaker Quinn Santori, discover Prescott's body lying in his wine cellar. Is one of the guests a murderer?
As Lucie searches for the lost Madeira, which she believes links Prescott's death to a cryptic letter her father owned, she learns about Prescott's affiliation with the Freemasons. More investigating hints at a mysterious vault supposedly containing documents hidden by the Founding Fathers and a possible tie to William Shakespeare. If Lucie finds the long-lost documents, the explosive revelations could change history. But will she uncover a three hundred–year-old secret before a determined killer finds her?

- content: Using a soft voice and a light Southern accent, narrator Christine Marshall adds charm to this cozy mystery set in Virginia's wine country. In the tenth installment of the Wine Country series, winemaker Lucie Montgomery helps solve the murder of her wealthy neighbor as well as a puzzle involving a case of Madeira, an original copy of the Declaration of Independence, the Freemasons, and the Jamestown settlement. Marshall changes up the volume and tone of her delivery to distinguish the characters and to set off Lucie's internal musings from her conversations. The plot takes Lucie to Washington, DC, and historic archaeological sites as well as into secret rooms of local wine cellars. The audiobook includes enough background details to orient new listeners to this fun mystery series. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
