Wrong Poison

A Grace “The Hit Mom” Mystery, Book 1

De: Nikki Knight

Narrado por: Heather Beth Eisenberg

She's a nice suburban mom and a sacred assassin...and Grace Adair’s secret life has just become a problem.

In “WRONG POISON,” Grace knows she’s in trouble when a death at the Library Book Fair turns out to be murder – by a poison used only by her ancient sisterhood. Now, she’ll 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.

About those other skills: Grace and her sweet older pal Madge are members 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.

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 and unearths all kinds of secrets in suburbia...finally cornering the killer in a wild confrontation at the PTA Ice Cream Social.

Can she protect her friends and her sisterhood? Or is it the end of centuries of quietly meting out justice – and Grace herself?

Call it a cozy with a twist. You’ve never met anyone like Grace…and you’ll never forget her.

Fun Small Town Story

The premise of this story involves an ancient sisterhood of vigilante assassins who exact justice on those too slippery to spend time in jail. Their preferred method involves poisons that remain undetectable even today. Unfortunately, one sister’s recipe book has been found by someone who is not one of their members and has started taking out grievances on locals. Now, Grace and her “sisters” have to seek out this unsanctioned killer before any more undeserving people are murdered.

The story is cute, as it takes place in a small town and explores the lifestyle of a community where most people know one another. Grace tells the story, including anecdotes and little details about other people that help bring the characters to life. At times it can be a bit distracting from the plot, but overall the story makes for a fun read or listen.

This is my first time hearing from Heather Beth Eisenberg. She has a pleasant voice that is easy to listen too. She performs male characters well, and she injects just the right amount of sarcasm and perkiness when called for. She is a narrator to watch for.
