In the latter half of the 1800s, widespread suspicion and anxiety
emerged when wives of all ages and social status were accused of
killing their husbands with poison. However, what seemed like a
massive spike in murderous wives across the United Kingdom and
United States may not have been a spike at all, but rather a poison
panic caused by hungry newspapers and mass hysteria. This work
explores the stories of several high-profile cases of women on
trial for murdering their husbands with poison. Lust, money and
power were often central to the accusations, and the sensational
news coverage set off a century-long witch hunt. No woman was safe
from suspicion during this untold chapter in the history of true
crime.
