About this ebook

Some secrets are toxic...

When environmentalist Max Edwards is found dead on the bank of the River Thames, his widow turns to rookie private detective Emily Swanson for help.

But as Emily investigates, a case of accidental death quickly takes a dangerous turn. Max isn’t the only one to die in strange circumstances, a mother and child are missing, and all of the evidence points to the mysterious Valence Industries.

Out of her depth and with the body count rising, Emily must seek the help of an unlikely ally. Because if she doesn’t uncover the truth about Max Edwards soon, more innocent people will die.

Trail Of Poison is the third book in the Emily Swanson Thrillers series. I am loving this series and will have the entire set in my TBR-again pile. The storyline is well written and gripping, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout as Emily ropes Jerome into helping her find out what happened to Max Edwards and a number of others. The characters are well developed and realistic. There is murder, danger, suspense, intrigue, politics, and decisions to be made. I cannot wait for the next book in this fantastic series.
