The Poison Widow: A True Story of Sin, Strychnine, and Murder (Wisconsin)

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Half

(Paperback)-I know what your granny did last century, said author Linda Godfrey to the granddaughter of Myrtle Schaude. How would you feel if you found out, after years of eating her homemade cookies, that grandma was in truth a confessed, convicted prisoner who served prison time for murder? This is the true story of petite and mild-mannered Myrtle Schaude, a model wife and mother from Whitewater, Wisconsin, who poisoned her husband with strychnine, then blamed her lover. Next, she started over with a new family in a new state, conveniently forgetting to mention the sordid events that ended her previous marriage. How could Myrtle keep her shocking past a secret over all the decades? Open the book to find out!
