1. Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981) by Gabriel García Márquez + Chardonnay
Nobel Laureate Gabriel García Márquez shows us how it's done in this engaging read. An excellent exercise in literary technique, Chronicle of a Death Foretold elaborates on just that — a death predicted. Will the characters stop the murder from happening or is the prediction simply moot? This novella is a quick read with only a few hundred pages. Still, its vivid characterisation and worlding makes it easily accessible to any reader. Pair this colourful story with a glass of chardonnay to take the edge of! Every page gets more thrilling than the last so you'll certainly need every sip!
