The Arsenic Eater's Wife: A brand new dark historical mystery that will keep you guessing
A woman is accused of killing her husband, but is she guilty? Inspired by a true historical case, this spellbinding novel will keep you guessing until the final heart-stopping revelation . . .
 
I’m on trial for the murder of my husband William. But no one knows the truth about my marriage.
 
I sit in the dock each day and listen to them tell their lies. That William wasn’t taking arsenic, that he was a nobleman who would never hurt anyone. That I’m a cunning, deceitful woman who should hang for what I’ve done.
 
Everyone betrayed me. My best friend, the family, the servants. Even my lover.
 
They think because I purchased arsenic that I’m the one who poisoned him. They think I’m dangerous. They think I’m mad.
 
But when this trial is over it will only be the beginning. Because I won’t rest until I get my revenge, even if I must claw myself from an unconsecrated grave to do it . . .
