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...

      Penelope Rawlins's magnetic performance draws listeners into Tonya Mitchell's gothic thriller. Constance Sullivan is charged with poisoning her husband, a known arsenic eater. Everyone believes she's guilty. At her trial, evidence piles up, and she's shocked when those she trusts lie and testify against her. Revealing the dark side of her marriage only adds fuel to the flames. Her barrister senses that she is being railroaded, but can he convince the jury? Rawlins has a remarkable range of voices. Both male and female characters are believable and identifiable. When the plot advances 15 years, her characters' voices subtly age. Suggested by an actual Victorian crime, the audiobook is filled with believable dialogue, satisfying twists, stunning revelations, and a spectacular conclusion. Penelope Rawlins makes it riveting.
