Reviews

"[Ward] presents the ins and outs of a homicide investigation and trial as if they were a puzzle, one that investigators put together piece by piece to its satisfying end."-- "Boston Globe"

"Death By Cyanide shows Ward at the top of her form. She has tracked down every single aspect of the lurid case--and illuminated the human beings behind it. . . . A master class in coverage of courtroom procedure, the preponderance of evidence will leave you with no doubt that the guilty verdict was correct."-- "Pittsburgh Quarterly"
