How to Research a Murder – a Guest Blog by Gilian Baker

[image error]

Ever wanted to kill someone? How would you do it? In my first cozy mystery, Blogging is Murder, the victim is poisoned with hemlock. Why hemlock when there are so many new, man-made chemicals available? I don’t know, really. I just always wanted to kill someone off with an old-fashioned plant.
