Any Port In A Storm

At Harcourt & Hemlock, Bristol's quirkiest wine shop, former sommelier Sybil Harcourt knows how to pair a vintage with just about anything—except murder.

When a respected violin restorer collapses at one of Sybil's exclusive port tastings, the event takes a deadly turn. With the only poisoned glass missing and every guest under suspicion, Sybil uncorks a cellar full of secrets. From forged antiques to vanished bottles and a bow that sings false, it's clear someone went to great lengths to keep the past buried.

Joined by her sharp-eyed niece Phoebe and a sardonic detective with a surprising palate, Sybil must pour over every detail before the killer vanishes like a ghost in a decanter.

Witty, atmospheric, and laced with just the right amount of tannin, Any Port in a Storm is the first in a sparkling new cosy mystery series for lovers of fine wine, fine clues, and ferociously clever heroines.
