Poison Memories: A nail-biting and gripping mystery and suspense thriller -- Helen Phifer, Paperback

Wind howls against the bolted front door, but the woman can still hear footsteps approaching. He has come for her. The memory of what she did still haunts her, and she knows she deserves to die...

Arriving at High Wraith cottage, Detective Morgan Brookes joins her horrified team, who have found a woman's body chained and dangling from the gnarled branch of an old oak tree. It's a race against time to preserve any evidence as heavy rain destroys the scene, but they've already identified the victim as a woman who once tried to kill her own family.

Twenty years ago, Margery Lancaster went to prison for poisoning her husband and infant son. They both survived, and Morgan must treat the pair as her first suspects. But before she has a chance to get to work, Margery's ex-husband is brutally murdered, and Morgan's heart thumps as she sees his hands tied with silver chains that match those found on Margery's body. Then his son, now a local doctor, arrives at the station to be interviewed. Morgan watches in despair as he drops to the floor and falls into a coma.

With almost all of the forensic evidence washed away by the storm, and no family left to interview, Morgan's last hope is tracking the two chains to a local hardware store. But the killer is already closing in on his final victim. Is it already too late for Morgan to stop him, or will she uncover the terrible secrets this family are hiding in time to save another life?

A heart-racing, edge-of-your-seat thriller for fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Rachel McLean. Will have your heart pounding as you reach the final, breathtaking twist.
