    "description": "Morgan shudders as she leans out of the window and takes in the familiar blonde curls and clear blue eyes of the fallen girl below. She knows this woman, and she realises with sickening certainty that her friend is now gone forever\u2026\n\nWhen Detective Morgan Brookes is called to the scene of a suicide, she\u2019s devastated to recognise the young teacher sprawled out on the grass like a broken doll. She hasn\u2019t seen Brittany for years. Not since the tragic death of Morgan\u2019s high-school boyfriend ripped their friendship group apart. But when witnesses describe Brittany\u2019s erratic behaviour and jumbled speech that morning, Morgan is convinced the fearless, life-loving girl she once knew didn\u2019t jump of her own accord.\n\nTraces of poison found in Brittany\u2019s blood prove Morgan\u2019s theory right, but no one can find the source. Then Morgan uncovers a distinctive jar in Brittany\u2019s home filled with toxic herbs, and the sight of it turns her blood to ice. She has a jar just like it, a handmade gift from her aunt. Is this a coincidence, a set-up, or could the only person she\u2019s ever trusted with her damaged past be capable of murder?\n\nThen another woman from Morgan\u2019s past is found, close to the scene of that fatal teenage party. Has Morgan been looking at this all wrong? Are these deaths connected to that deadly night? And how could someone from her own family possibly be involved?\n\nWith her aunt\u2019s freedom and more innocent lives at stake, Morgan must dig deep into her painful memories for answers. Who else was there that night, and what exactly did they see? She must stop this twisted killer before any more of her old friends become new victims \u2013 but at what cost?",
