Florence Elizabeth Maybrick [1862-1941], a American-born socialite, was convicted in 1889 of fatally poisoning her husband James Maybrick, a Liverpool cotton merchant with a history of drug abuse. The book implicitly delves into the social prejudices surrounding the case. Florence Maybrick faced condemnation not only for allegedly poisoning her husband but also for committing adultery. Many felt that her conviction was fueled by Victorian double standards, where her moral reputation was used as evidence of murderous intent. Despite scanty evidence pointing to her guilt and several procedural irregularities, she was sentenced to death. Public outrage led the Home Office to commute her sentence to life in prison. She was released 15 years later. The case attracted a great deal of attention and generated a large bibliography. Macdougall, a Scottish barrister, provides a highly detailed, fact-based account of the investigation and trial while also examining broader issues of justice, gender, and the influence of public opinion.
