A nurse finds herself in a trap after one of her patients is murdered in this mystery from the author of A Justifiable Madness.
For a community psychiatric nurse, Monica Morris has an unhealthy interest in poison. When she impulsively buys an antique cabinet with a set of leather-bound journals, she becomes fascinated by the content . . .
A few days later, she discovers the body of her patient, Jan Collins, and although police assume suicide by overdose, Monica is not convinced. When more unexplained deaths involving poisoning occur, Monica realises they are linked, and so does DS Adams who is investigating. But how are they connected? And why? When it becomes obvious that she’s unwittingly stepped into a trap set for someone else, Monica’s career, her own sanity and her life are placed at risk. But where can she turn to for help?
Divine Poison will appeal to fans of authors like LJ Ross, Joy Ellis, Faith Martin, and Ed James.
Alison Morgan lives in the corner of a field in North Bedfordshire, with wonderful hairy husband and dog (yes, they’re both hairy). Their children have long since flown the nest. Alison has 30 years of experience in the NHS, mostly spent at the sharp end of Mental Health Nursing where she specialised in psychosis, and pushed herself to achieve a Masters Degree in Advanced Practice (Nursing). With burnout fast approaching, an unexpected illness challenge came to the recue, and allowed her to free the writer within, and save the day. She is currently indulging herself in midlife crisis adventures, and the latest challenge is to learn to ride a motorbike. Her debut novel A Justifiable Madness is inspired by her life and career as a Psychiatric Nurse, and her fascination with the extremes of human behaviour. Her second novel is currently under construction. Wit, humour, mystery and intrigue lie within.
