The Cellar Notebook

In the vineyards of Saint-Émilion, some secrets are buried deeper than the oldest wine. When Camille Rousseau arrives at a prestigious French château to inventory its historic wine cellar, she discovers a hidden notebook belonging to her mother, who vanished twenty years earlier. Its pages reveal suspicious transactions, dangerous lies, and a web of betrayal stretching back to 1998. As Camille follows the clues, everything she believed about her childhood begins to unravel. But someone has spent decades protecting the truth—and will do anything to keep it buried. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Bordeaux's wine country, The Cellar Notebook is a gripping mystery of family secrets, deception, and the devastating cost of silence. Some secrets age like fine wine. Others turn poisonous.
