Marilyn Todd

Marilyn Todd is a critically acclaimed author of short stories and historical thrillers, who "paints antiquity with a particularly suspenseful brush and skillfully tangled plots" (Booklist). Her Roman series features "a gorgeous rich bitch, plotting and spying to survive adverse fortune" (Daily Mail). The Greek novels feature "an abundance of historical tidbits and robust prose" (Kirkus Reviews). All her work embraces humour, suspense and a lively sense of drama, often inspired by the places she visits. In 2015, her short story "Blood Red Roses" won one of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine's prestigious Readers Awards. The year before, "The Wickedest Town in the West" scooped the same award. And another story, "Room for Improvement", about quickie divorces in 1950s Brighton, was nominated for a Shamus. She and her husband currently live on a French hilltop surrounded by vineyards and woods, and when she isn't killing people, Marilyn enjoys cooking. Which is pretty much the same thing.

What pairs best with a chardonnay or a Pinot Noir? Murder!

You don’t have to be a literary sommelier to know that a short story by Marilyn Todd is the perfect accompaniment to a glass of fermented grapes at the end of a long day. The dark, red stain of a Cabernet Sauvignon on your lips translates perfectly to the blood stains of the victims within the pages of the crime stories in this collection.

With themes ranging from theft to murder via double cross, with a menu of weapons from poison to arson and beyond, who will get away with their crimes and who will be served justice?

Grab your glass, curl up in your favorite reading nook and discover why Ellery Queen proclaims Marilyn Todd to be “one of the best short story mystery writers of her generation.”
