Faith Zanetti, war correspondent and now a mother, is sleeping with an edgy Russian who lives on the seedy side of ex-pat London. When he gets dramatically poisoned and suspects the Russian security services of targeting him, Faith is sucked into a drama that transports her to the swelter of Cairo and into a breathtaking and terrifying world she barely knew existed.
Sharply observed, moving and totally compulsive, My Favourite Poison is a spectacular adventure for the heroine men want to be with and women want to be.'It's impossible not to fall for Faith Zanetti. She has a great sense of humour - and this is where journalist Anna Blundy really shines, because it requires nifty footwork on the part of a writer to produce a funny thriller without diluting the thrills and trivialising serious issues. Sharp and hilarious' Guardian 'Good fun, gripping, well-written, interesting and moving' Marian Keyes
