Un vent de cendres (novel in French) by Sandrine Collette

A Wind of Ashes by Sandrine Collette is a gripping noir novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. This wine thriller is set in the mysterious Vaux estate where secrets are as thick as the surrounding vineyards.

The story begins with Malo and Camille, a brother and sister who have come to do the grape harvest in this isolated estate. From the moment they arrive, Malo feels a bad premonition. The owner of the estate, Octave, seems to have a strange fascination with Camille, which worries her brother. Despite his attempts to convince Camille to leave the estate, she finds his fears unfounded and decides to stay.

But the atmosphere becomes increasingly oppressive. Octave, with his face marked by an old injury, embodies a presence that is both alluring and repulsive to Camille. Tensions rise between the brother and sister until, on the third day, Malo disappears without a trace.

The lack of reaction from the other grape pickers amplifies Camille's anguish, as she feels that something terrible has happened. She is then faced with a dilemma: should she flee or stay to find out what happened to her brother? The suspense reaches its peak as Camille tries to uncover the mysteries surrounding the Vaux estate.

Sandrine Collette delivers here a masterfully constructed thriller, where each page reveals a new layer of mystery. The writing is incisive, the atmosphere oppressive, and the tension only grows until a terrifying conclusion.
