About The Poison Garden

Product Description MP3 CD Format A new novel of insidious secrets and chilling revelations surrounding a mysterious cult—the latest gripping psychological thriller from Alex Marwood. When nearly one hundred members of The Ark, a sinister apocalypse cult are found dead by poison at their isolated community in North Wales, those left alive are scattered to the winds with few coping skills and fewer answers. For twenty-three-year-old Romy, who has never known life outside the compound, learning how to live in a world she has been taught to fear is terrifying. Now Romy must start a new life for herself—and the child growing inside her. She is determined to find the rest of her family and keep her baby safe, no matter the cost. But as the horrors of her past start to resurface, she realizes that leaving her old life behind won't be easy. Outside the walls of The Ark, the real evil has only just begun. Review Beresford's soft-spoken English accent and pacing match well with the unfolding of a doomsday cult thriller that combines both emotionally broken characters and surprising turns.-- "Booklist Audio" About the Author Alex Marwood is a pseudonym of the novelist and sometime journalist Serena Mackesy.
