How would you feel if you found out, after years of eating her homemade cookies, that grandma was in truth a confessed, convicted poisoner 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! Book jacket.
