Wicked Tongue

A wicked tongue is worse than any fiend (Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales: The Manciples Tale, 1395) Tongues are wagging in a sleepy English seaside town after a well-respected couple die within weeks of each other. Businessman Sam Shepton killed himself. At his inquest, his heartbroken son blamed his mother, Amanda, branding her a black widow. A few days later, he discovers her body. The talking begins, accusations are made, secret lives are revealed. Was Amanda killed because of her husbands death? Was her murder a personal crime or the start of a serial killer spree? Everyones words have consequences and its clear that careless talk really CAN cost lives! Author Vicki Fitzgerald (Briguella, Kill List) described this book as "Wickedly warped, sensational. A chilling, compulsive, character-driven thriller with a killer twist".
