"A page-turning mystery. With the blunt and declarative storytelling style of classic noir pulp, and the sharp tête-à-tête of cleverly crafted dialogue, readers are quickly immersed in the bold attitudes, old-fashioned language, and nostalgic mood of the 1950s. Tainted Wine is a quick read, but also an exhilarating one." Self-Publishing Review

Good mystery
This high quality 1950s mystery is quite interesting, from the easy to follow investigating and captivating narration, to the varied cast of engaging characters and overall good storytelling.

Noir detective thriller
Steve Daniels is studying for the CA Bar exam and working as an investigator at a law firm. While working on the latest case involving an heiress accused of murdering a vintner at the family’s winery, Steve learns some explosive background information. As the investigation continues, he gets embroiled in the retaliation of a psychotic criminal. A very good story that has a lot of twists and turns. It’s set in the early 1950s and some of the attitudes and dialog were disturbing, such as the lawyers discussing a domestic assault case and blaming the wife because the husband beat her and maybe she deserved it. The story me on edge and very anxious. I found myself stopping the audiobook because I couldn’t continue listening to what Steve was enduring. Glad I finished it. The narration was outstanding.
