Desperate House Wines

What pairs best with a chardonnay or a Pinot Noir? Murder

You don't have to be a literary sommelier to know that a short story by Marilyn Todd is the perfect accompaniment to a glass of fermented grapes at the end of a long day. The dark, red stain of a Cabernet Sauvignon on your lips translates perfectly to the blood stains of the victims within the pages of the crime stories in this collection.

With themes ranging from theft to murder via double cross, with a menu of weapons from poison to arson and beyond, who will get away with their crimes and who will be served justice?

Grab your glass, curl up in your favorite reading nook and discover why Ellery Queen proclaims Marilyn Todd to be "one of the best short story mystery writers of her generation."
