Many thanks to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing and Bookouture Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest true crime novel by the one-and-only Gregg Olsen and wonderfully narrated by Karen Peakes - 4.5 stars!
A few years after the Tylenol tampering tragedies, Stella Nickell is on trial for lacing Excedrin capsules with cyanide, causing both her husband and a complete stranger to die. Gregg Olsen meticulously researches the background and family of Stella, including Cindy, the daughter who would later testify against her in court.
I have been a true crime junkie since my teens, and have eagerly awaited Olsen's books, whether his true crime or fiction books. I really enjoyed listening to the discussion between the narrator and author at the end of the book, as well as his afterword. It's so frightening to think that someone could be so evil as to tamper with a product that could kill any one of us. In this case, as in so many, it all comes down to money. Another winner by this author!
