One body. Five killers. Five true solutions. You name the hand.
Château Malbaud's harvest festival is the estate's last chance to look whole before the bank arrives at nine o'clock. Then Armand Malbaud turns up dead in his own crush vat, and his family hides the body rather than let a death near the loan meeting before the sun is up.
You are a guest with no jurisdiction and no standing, in France on holiday with your sister, trapped inside a night that five different people had reason enough to end. The official read is the harvest - a careless old man and the gas that kills a winemaker every year. The real read depends on which thread you pull.
Pull the glass thread: His daughter poured the toast wine with her own hand and set it where he'd find it.
Pull the wound thread: His eldest son shut the cuvier doors and told a lie about a rat - and knows exactly how a vat accident is supposed to look.
Pull the pomace thread: The man he scapegoated for a death in that very room, fifteen years gone, couldn't cross the threshold - and then he could.
Pull the pump thread: His younger son wired every machine in that cellar, and was cut out of the very deal he brokered.
Pull the fan thread: One man has run the air of that cuvier for thirty years, and carries a dead boy's name nobody thought to count.
Five threads. Five clinchers. Five true endings - each one completely deducible from the clues on your path. Read again, pull a different thread, and convict someone new. The evidence will hold either way.
Bordeaux Bitter Must is the seventh book in the Iris Kerr Interactive Series - closed-circle murder mysteries where the culprit genuinely changes with the path, and fair play is never broken.
