BOOK 3 IN A GRIPPING SUPERNATURAL MYSTERY SERIES BASED ON TRUE CRIMES
I don't know who I am, but he does - and he's coming for me.

A random meeting, a brace of poisoned partridges, and Connie is knee-deep in trouble again. Her life is slowly unravelling, the truth almost in grasping distance. If only she could remember.
But somebody can. And he'll use any means to get to her. Can Connie escape his clutches one more time?
The Poisoned Partridge is the third book in a gripping 1920s mystery series with a supernatural twist.

Person
Jacqueline Beard is a writer and genealogist living in Gloucestershire, with an East Anglian ancestry going back to the 1500s. She writes Victorian murder mysteries and is currently working on books in the Lawrence Harpham and the Constance Maxwell mystery series. Jacqueline's books are a rare mix of true crime and fiction inspired by old newspaper reports. When Jacqueline is not writing or researching "dead people," as her husband so charmingly puts it, she is walking in the glorious Cotswolds with her dog. Jacqueline enjoys technology and spends far too much time on her computer. She dislikes flying, dentists and balloons - especially red ones.
