Sweet Poison

For fourteen years, nobody suspected a thing.In the lush hills of Kozhikode, Kerala, Jolly Joseph was everything a small village could want - a devoted wife, a caring daughter-in-law, a pillar of her church community. She cooked for the sick. She prayed with the grieving. She was the first to arrive and the last to leave.She was also a killer.Between 2002 and 2016, six members of her own family died - one by one, quietly, in ways that looked natural. A husband. A mother-in-law, A father-in-law, A young wife, A child. Each death mourned. Each death accepted. Each death signed off as tragedy in a family with very bad luck.Nobody asked questions. Nobody looked closer.Nobody except Rajan - an engineer, a brother-in-law, a man who kept a notebook and kept showing up at the police station long after everyone else had moved on.Sweet Poison is the story of how one woman fooled an entire community for fourteen years - and one man refused to let her get away with it. It is a story about trust, about the blindness of love, and about what happens when the person everyone believes in is the most dangerous person in the room.Based on the true story of the Koodathayi serial murders, Kerala, India.
