In Death by Naked Ladies, the Beaujolais village where Julie lives is overrun with poison pen letters. Julie thinks it has nothing to do with her, until she gets one too...
Beaujolais Blood is about celebrating the arrival of the Beaujolais Nouveau in a local wine château. But then one of the guests is murdered in a locked room, and his body mysteriously disappears.
Julie's old flame resurfaces in The Cold Case: a Vintage Murder and asks her to look into a thirty-year-old murder her mother was once involved in.
