These Toxic Things

"In These Toxic Things , Mickie Lambert is hired by a curio shop owner with Alzheimer’s to create a memory bank. When her client’s sudden death is ruled a suicide, Mickie continues work on the project for the deceased woman’s family, only to be threatened as she continues to archive the curious mementos. Stories are often classified as slow burns when an author cleverly crafts the rising tension of storylines about to collide—which they definitely do, as These Toxic Things unfolds in twist after twist to the end."

"This creative and creepy thriller kept me up all night. As a digital archaeologist, young, bright and inquisitive Michaela pieces together a person’s life story from the artifacts they hold dear, transforming them into a supercharged, high-tech scrapbook. Now she’s tasked with helping an older woman obsessed with memorabilia make a record of her own life before the memories slip away. But just as she’s getting started, that client is found dead with a plastic bag over her head. Though a note points to suicide, there’s plenty of room for doubt, and Michaela is determined to find the truth no matter the danger."
