“You may never look at a bottle of wine in the same way again.” BRYONY PEARCE – AUTHOR OF ‘THE GIRL ON THE PLATFORM’ and ‘LITTLE RUMOURS’

“Have you read it? Bloody hell.” JASON EVANS – COURT AND CRIME REPORTER, SOUTH WALES EVENING POST

Keir Rothwell is a young artist with the world at his feet. But an earthquake is coming.  

Spurned by his muse and ejected from his art school, he faces artistic oblivion – a life without purpose.  

A summer job in a wine shop changes everything. Keir sees a new canvas – a chance to turn shop floor drudgery into an original piece of performance art. But his wine critiques mock the shop’s clientele and tension builds on both sides of the counter.

When his new project is threatened, conflict becomes murder and long buried secrets threaten to destroy the artist. But Keir Rothwell will not be undone.

Homicidal thoughts? Don’t bottle them up – drink in this dark blend of Jim Thompson and George Simenon, with notes of Patricia Highsmith. MURDER BY THE BOTTLE is a vintage thriller that’s destined to get even better with age. It’s the perfect partner for the discerning crime lover.
