The bride said yes.

Then she sipped the most expensive wine in the world. Then, alas, she dropped dead.

Somebody was trying to destroy the legendary Alchemy Winery by knocking off some of its best customers. One by one.
Charlie and Ben step in. They don't know Pinot from Thunderbird. But they know murder.

In this sixth hilarious and twist-filled adventure, Charlie and Ben find themselves deep inside the castle-like estate of Alchemy Winery, navigating a maze of suspects, secrets, and vintage deception.

With the help of their sharp-tongued crew--yep, including Pettise--they uncover betrayals that go back decades -- and a killer who's just getting started.

This mystery is clever, intriguing, full of old-guy charm, and just plain fun to read. You'll laugh. You'll gasp. You may never sip wine again without thinking of the Alchemy Winery.

If you're a fan of Richard Osman, Robert Thorogood, Janet Evanovich, Carl Hiaasen, or anyone who knows murder should come with a side of mischief -- welcome to the club.

This is a fast read. Old guys like things fast.
