Detective Simon Grave's tour of a local winery turns sour when a body is discovered in the fermentation tank for his favorite wine, Duct Tape Chardonnay. To solve the murder, he and his team of fellow detectives will have to question strangers, a long-lost love, and his choice in wines.
Publishers Weekly describes Boswell's PenCraft Award-winning series as a "genre-defying" adventure, a sort of cozy, sort of sci-fi, sort of paranormal, always-funny series set in the quirky seaside town of Crab Cove. As with all Simon Grave mysteries, simdroids (androids who resemble famous people) play a critical role in solving the crime.
Expect humorous takes on the advance of technology, the effects of global warming, and nothing less than the meaning of life, death, love, and loss. Get ready for a fun read. The year is 2054, and the future is filled with mystery.
