Excerpt from the Book:
"He was always skulking in the shed. He spent more time in the garden shed than in the house. He cared about his precious garden more than anything else, always worrying about the weeds that choked the life out of it. So he kept a plentiful supply of weed killer on the shelves in his shed, enough to kill an army. But she only needed to kill one person and he wasn't even a soldier. He was in a reserved occupation, helping to build the radar equipment that was to help win the war.
She didn't care about winning the war, not anymore. He would have been safer in the army. She measured the arsenic carefully, mixing it with his cocoa."
