The Mushroom Tapes: Trial of Erin Patterson

A woman named Erin Patterson was put on trial in Australia for a very serious crime.

She was accused of poisoning her estranged husband's parents and aunt by putting deadly mushrooms in a beef dish.

The trial happened over a few months and was very interesting to many people.

Three famous writers who attended the trial decided to write a book about it.

They recorded their conversations and wrote about what they saw.

The book is special because it talks about the trial and also about how the writers felt about writing the book.

They wondered if it was right to write about such a serious crime.

The book is called 'The Mushroom Tapes' and it's different from other true crime stories because it makes you think about the people involved and the crime itself.
