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 revelationâŚ
Iâm 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 wasnât taking arsenic, that he was a nobleman who would never hurt anyone. That Iâm a cunning, deceitful woman who should hang for what Iâve done.
Everyone betrayed me. My best friend, the family, the servants. Even my lover.
They think because I purchased arsenic that Iâm the one who poisoned him. They think Iâm dangerous. They think Iâm mad.
But when this trial is over, it will only be the beginning. Because I wonât rest until I get my revenge, even if I must claw myself from an unconsecrated grave to do itâŚ
