About the book

About Poisonous Murder (Jill Quint, MD, Forensic Pathologist Series)

A peaceful death. A suspicious friend. And a battle over prime real estate that may have turned deadly. Dr. Jill Quint, forensic pathologist and private investigator, is used to unexpected calls—but when a concerned friend insists that an elderly woman’s sudden death wasn’t natural, Jill agrees to take a look. The woman had been healthy just a month ago, and the case is only a short drive away in San Jose. Jill expects a straightforward answer. What she finds is anything but. The deceased was one of the last residents refusing to sell her home in a mobile home park coveted by developers—land worth millions in a booming real estate market. While it seems too obvious a motive, Jill has learned never to dismiss the simple answers too quickly. As she digs into the layers surrounding the victim’s final days, Jill uncovers hidden conflicts, high-stakes pressure, and more than a few people who stood to gain from her death. POISONOUS MURDER is the fifteenth installment in the Jill Quint, MD forensic mystery series—a smart, suspenseful, and satisfying whodunit where justice doesn’t always come cheap, especially in Silicon Valley.
