Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the gripping true crime trial of Madeline Smith, a young woman who was accused of murdering her former lover, Frenchman Emile L'Angelier, by poisoning him with arsenic. The trial, which took place in Scotland in 1857, was one of the most sensational of its time, and the author provides a detailed account of the evidence presented, the arguments of the prosecution and defense, and the public's reaction to the case. The book explores the broader social and cultural context of the trial, shedding light on the changing roles of women and the growing influence of the media in Victorian society. Ultimately, the trial's outcome sheds light on the complexities of love, desire, and the lengths to which people will go to protect their secrets.
