Book Description

The Trial of Mrs Maybrick
This 1889 trial of a woman accused of poisoning her husband featured forensic evidence and a great lawyer for the defence.

The Trial of Mrs Merryfield
In 1953, a plain, homely, middle-aged woman was accused of poisoning for profit. This trial reached a very satisfactory verdict (says Lustgarten), based partly on evidence concerning the action of yellow phosphorus.
