Teen-aged Internet bully Ivy Lake fell off a cliff and few
people cared ... except her mentally-challenged
eighteen-year-old step-brother, Tommy. He loved her in spite
of her cruelty. He's distraught and doesn't understand why
his blended family is falling apart. After a year, the
police still have no answers: Ivy could have jumped, could
have been pushed, or it could have been an accident. With
too many suspects and not enough evidence, the investigation
has grown cold.
Tommy thinks that if someone can figure out what happened to
his step-sister, everything will go back to normal, so he
writes to investigative reporter Maxine Revere. This isn’t
the type of case Max normally takes on, but the heartbreak
and simple honesty in Tommy's letter pulls her in. She
travels to Corte Madera, California, with her assistant
David Kane and is at first pleased that the police are
cooperative. But the more Max learns about Tommy and his
dysfunctional family, the more she thinks she’s taken on an
impossible task: this may be the one case she can’t solve.
If Ivy was murdered, it was exceptionally well-planned and
that kind of killer could be hiding in plain sight ...
planning the next act of violence. Max believes the truth is
always better than lies, that the truth is the only thing
that matters to gain justice for victims and their families.
But for the first time, she wonders if this time, the truth
will kill.
Poisonous is the latest in the electrifying Max
Revere series from New York Times bestselling author
Allison Brennan.
