From AudioFile:

If you stick with Phil Gigante long enough, you're bound to end up enjoying this third Walt Flemming mystery. It just takes so long to get to the heart of the story that you almost give up. The novel starts with the attempted theft of three bottles of wine allegedly given to John Adams by Thomas Jefferson. Add to that the question of whether the wine was authentic, and you have what appears to be the whole plot. Not so. With the appearance of two teenagers, an odd cast of characters, and some beautiful descriptions of Sun Valley, Idaho, your patience is ultimately rewarded. Gigante carries the ball all the way from the book's slow start to its innovative ending. Gigante's delivery commands attention, and his masterful portrayals of characters are totally convincing. This is one book better listened to than read. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
