Book Synopsis

Grace Adair is your typical suburban mom, except for one little secret...

She's also a member of a 700-year-old order of assassins sacred to the Archangel Gabriel and sworn to remove evil men who elude man's justice. Think #MeToo with a poison solution. But when a death at the Library Book Fair turns out to be murder by a poison used only by her ancient sisterhood, Grace knows she's in trouble.

In Wrong Poison, Grace will need all her skills as a PTA mom and former prosecutor to find the killer and protect her friends...and their secrets. Hopefully without using her other skills. With the unwitting help of her diverse and colorful parent pals, Scotchie the Giant Dog, and her clueless defense lawyer husband, Grace tracks the killer, unearthing all kinds of suburban secrets along the way.

Can she protect her friends and her sisterhood? Or is it the end of the centuries-old sisterhood-and Grace herself? One thing's for sure: you've never met a mom quite like Grace.
