THE ASTONISHING STORY OF ERIN PATTERSON AND THE MUSHROOM MURDER TRIAL THAT HORRIFIED AND ENTHRALLED THE WORLD

On 29 July 2023 the family and friends of Erin Patterson sat down for lunch in Leongatha, a small town in rural Australia. On the menu: beef Wellington. The next day, four of the guests were hospitalised, and within a week, Erin's mother- and father-in-law, Don and Gail Patterson, and her husband's aunt Heather Wilkinson were dead. Heather's husband, Ian, survived . . . but only just.

Doctors suspected death cap mushroom poisoning, and four months later, Patterson was arrested and charged with three counts of murder and one of attempted murder. The case immediately captured media attention around the world. Had Patterson deliberately killed her estranged husband's parents and aunt? Was the lunch a recipe for murder?

In this gripping new book, bestselling author, investigative journalist and former detective Duncan McNab expertly examines the sequence of events that left three people dead, and a community and family shattered. With forensic detail he brings to life the twists and turns of the trial and the dramatic final verdict: GUILTY!©2025 Duncan McNab
