Poured Out

A Francine Witt Mystery (Francine Witt Investigates, Book 3)

De: Steve Exeter

Narrado por: Ella Whitehead

Wine influencer turned accidental sleuth Francine Witt heads to New York’s most exclusive gala expecting glamour, gossip, and good champagne. Instead, she finds a perfectly curated family tableau with one glaring flaw: someone is missing.

As whispers spread about a figure erased from the Moncrief legacy, the dynasty’s polished façade starts to unravel. Accidents turn deadly, and anyone who gets too close to the truth is quickly silenced.

With her intuitive partner Rosalind at her side—and a sceptical NYPD detective watching closely—Francine digs into a world of privilege, power, and carefully crafted lies. From Capote-style high society to the shadows of a family secret, nothing is quite what it seems.

To expose the truth at the heart of the Moncrief empire, Francine must risk her reputation, her friendships, and perhaps her heart.

Witty, feminist, and irresistibly sharp, Poured Out uncorks a sparkling new instalment in the Francine Witt Mystery series. Dorothy Parker’s ghost would surely raise a glass, then cut the whole affair to ribbons.
