My first short story, "The Trial of Madame Pelletier" was published in Malice Domestic's MYSTERY MOST HISTORICAL (Wayside Press, 2017) and features a poisoning case in 19th century France.
This one came from a real case I read about when I was still a grad student, although I've changed it completely.
NOMINATED for a 2018 Anthony!!!
