Simon Patterson, the estranged husband of Australian mushroom murderer Erin Patterson, will tell his story for the first time outside a courtroom, in a memoir with a publishing deal already agreed.

Patterson has so far remained publicly silent about last year’s trial, which captured global attention and spawned multiple documentaries and podcasts.

Erin Patterson was convicted of murdering Simon’s parents, Don and Gail, and his aunt, Heather Wilkinson, after cooking them a lunch laced with death cap mushrooms in July 2023.
