How do you turn true crime into compelling fiction?
In this installment of Expert Witness Sinead speaks to Tonya Mitchell, author of The Arsenic Eaters Wife, a new gothic crime novel inspired by the famous story of Florence Maybrick. In Liverpool in 1889, Constance Sullivan stands accused of poisoning her husband, but William was no innocent victim and a web of deception envelopes their home and the people closest to them. Gloriously gothic and alarmingly good!
