ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As usual, this book is a result of input from many others; I have a fantastic team of assistants and cheerleaders.
Thank-you to fellow authors Andrew Patterson and Garry Rodgers, and my daughter Emma Hoiberg for their help with my research into poisons and police and legal procedures. I’m indebted to my beta readers Aaron Parker, Pam Mariko and Alison Quigley for all the time and energy they put into reading the manuscript and providing valuable feedback and constructive criticism.
Judy Bullard has once again come up with a brilliant cover design and my thanks also to Jo Robinson for her prompt and efficient service with my proofreading.
My family is always in the background cheering me on and I couldn’t have written this book without the love and support of my partner
