Author’s Bio

When Elizabeth Ducie had been working in the international pharmaceutical industry for nearly thirty years, she decided she’d like to take a break from technical writing—text books, articles and training modules—and write about some of her travel experiences instead. She took some courses in Creative Writing and discovered to her surprise that she was happier, and more successful, writing fiction than memoirs or life-writing. In 2012, she gave up the day job, and started writing full-time. She has published three novels, three collections of short stories and a series of manuals on business skills for writers.

My Review

5 Stars

Krokodil is the new drug that is cheaper than heroin and known to kill in one to years of use. It’s not a pretty drug in Russia but after discovering two dead bodies it looks like rumors of mass production of krokodil is more than just rumors. With her sister on an extended honeymoon, Francine Matheson is asked to look into the rumors. Francine askes her sister Charlie for advice and even though her partner is expecting a baby Charlie heads out to help Francine’s investigation.

I have not read the other books in this series but I don’t think that really affected my enjoyment of Corruption. I was hooked with the prologue and what images I have seen of users of krokodil. I thought I had an idea of where this story was going but I was kept completely off guard.

Francine and Charlie meet surprising friends and enemies on the path to the manufacturer. There are twists and turns to keep you guessing and multiple points of view that help to add to this story.

This is a great read. If you like thrillers it’s one to check out. Now I want to go back to the beginning and see what I have missed.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.

I would like to thank Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to read and share this book.
