Dial M for Merlot is a fun novel to read. I wrote an almost 500-word review of the book that is available on the Wine Trail Traveler website under book reviews. The book is available  on Amazon as a kindle edition and as a paperback.

Just briefly, this is a novel with the main character a 30 year-old math wizard who is very awkward in social situations. He is also awkward with women and getting a second date with the same woman is difficult if not impossible.

Combine this young man with a group of knowledgeable wine enthusiasts, a couple of women and a French scoundrel and you have well-developed characters who can make this book a page turner.

The author, Howard K, easily includes details about wine that pertain to the story but does not distract from the situations taking place.

My only criticism of Dial M for Merlot was the length of many of the author’s very long sentences. However, at the same time his descriptions of characters were fascinating.

Check out this enjoyable fiction book.

Cheers, Kathy
