About
E. E. Lawson writes emotional, layered fiction about women navigating the world. Her debut novel, Absolution, blends literary suspense and women’s fiction, with a slow-burn mystery at its heart. If you enjoy authors like Kristin Hannah, Diane Chamerlain, or Jodi Picoult—you’ll enjoy her voice and this tale. It’s a dual-timeline novel set in 1980s Chicago and present-day Ohio, centered on a dying woman’s final confession—and her connection to the real-life unsolved case of the 1982 Tylenol murders.

From True Crime to Fiction: The 1982 Tylenol Murders and the Making of Absolution
What if the most haunting unsolved crime of the 1980s inspired a novel of guilt, silence, and redemption? In In 1982, seven people died after taking Tylenol laced with cyanide. The killer was never caught. That mystery stayed with me for years—and ultimately inspired the story behind Absolution. This is how fiction helped me imagine the closure we never got.

Seeking Redemption… and ARC Readers
In 1982, cyanide-laced Tylenol claimed seven lives—and the killer was never found. That chilling reality stuck with me for 20 years. Absolution is my attempt to imagine what might happen if someone knew more than they let on.
