A genteel, talky whodunit that unfolds like a stage-bound puzzle, pleasant but cool, with suspicion simmering politely among well-dressed guests.

Tagline: One sip lasts forever.

How it feels: Tense, cynical, melancholic and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Mystery, deception, betrayal, death
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
