The Poison Garden

'Crime writing at its best' LISA JEWELL 'I can't wait to see what Alex Marwood does next' JOJO MOYES 'One of my must-read crime writers' SOPHIE HANNAH *** Where Romy grew up, if someone died you never spoke of them again. Now twenty-two, she has recently escaped the toxic confines of the cult she was raised in. But Romy is young, pregnant and completely alone - and if she is to keep herself safe in this new world, she has some important lessons to learn. Like how there are some people you can trust, and some you must fear. And about who her family really is, and why her mother ran away from them all those years ago. And that you can't walk away from a dark past without expecting it to catch up with you... Shocking, tense and sharply written, The Poison Garden is the gripping new novel from the international bestseller and Edgar award-winning Alex Marwood. *** 'I cancel all engagements for a new novel from Alex Marwood' ERIN KELLY
