Far from a picturesque romance, life with the boorish broker turns sour as they move to Manchester and May finds herself trapped in a world of hostile servants and neglect. When Tyler meets his end from an overdose of arsenic - the drug which he was so fond of prescribing himself as a kind of panacea - May is dragged into a trial coloured by the public's hunger to paint her as a beguiling murderess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the real-life murder trial of Florence Maybrick in 1899, this novel spins the gripping tale of a case clouded by sensation, its unsolved mysteries, and the untold story of the human being at its heart.
