Perfect for you if...

You love true crime that centres on the investigator's perspective, not just the crime itself.
You're drawn to cases where the culprit seems impossible, where every instinct says 'not her'.
You appreciate meticulously reported narratives that show how real detective work actually unfolds over years.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer crime stories that are quick, sensational reads without the procedural details.
You're sensitive to descriptions of prolonged poisoning and suffering.
You find it unsettling when the narrative sympathises with a detective's gut instinct over hard evidence.

About this book

Eric Miller, a pediatric AIDS researcher in Raleigh, North Carolina, died after being slowly poisoned with arsenic. His death shocked the community, particularly given the brutal nature of his killing. His wife, Ann Miller, an educated scientist, seemed an unlikely suspect to most observers. Veteran homicide investigator Chris Morgan, nearing the end of his career, suspected Ann from their first meeting. Journalist Amanda Lamb chronicles Morgan's four-year investigation into the case, which uncovered a complex pattern of deception and resulted in another death before Ann Miller's involvement was finally revealed.
