Death by Cyanide: The Murder of Dr. Autumn Klein by Paula Reed Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A look inside of a little-publicized murder case that will leave you reeling.

Imagine a woman dead and her pathology reports show ti was cyanide. Now imagine said woman's husband...being found to be the murderer....

Ward takes us behind the scenes of a plot of betrayal in a concise and flowing narrative, detailing all the turn of events deeper in to the rabbit hole. The book opens up with the doctor wife dead and we retrace the steps backwards to reveal the scheming husband, his plans and motives. It's hard to talk about this piece without spoilers so I won't say too much more other than you would do well to read it. Wonderfully in depth without the sluggish pull much crime writing tends to have. Riveting and accessible at the same time.
