British true crime history told through the poisoned kitchens, sickrooms, marriages and inheritance battles of the British home.
POISONED HOMES is a dark, documentary collection of British domestic murder cases where poison was not brought in from the outside world - it was already inside the house, disguised as tea, medicine, food, care, money or family duty. From Victorian arsenic scandals and inheritance murders to Edwardian courtrooms, suspected black widows, poisoned spouses, disputed verdicts and forensic breakthroughs, Julian Maddox examines how Britain's most private spaces became crime scenes - and how investigators learned to read illness, routine and domestic trust as evidence. These are not simple stories of villains and victims. They are cases of access, intimacy, class, gender, property, medical uncertainty and the terrible power of being trusted inside someone else's home. Inside this book, you will discover:- British poison murder cases involving husbands, wives, relatives, lodgers, carers and household dependants.
- Victorian and Edwardian true crime shaped by arsenic, medicines, rat poison, inheritance and domestic suspicion.
- Forensic history showing how toxicology, exhumation, post-mortems and courtroom medicine changed murder trials.
- Contested verdicts and legal uncertainty, where suspicion, motive and chemistry did not always produce a simple answer.
- Narrative non-fiction written with documentary restraint, historical context and respect for victims.
>Sometimes it was poured into a cup.
Sometimes it was mixed into food.
Sometimes it was called medicine.
>For readers of British true crime, historical murder cases, Victorian crime, forensic history and dark narrative non-fiction, POISONED HOMES reveals how family, fortune and domestic trust became some of the most dangerous forces in British criminal history.
