The Last Victim by Anne E Graham
The Last Victim is the remarkable true story of Florence Maybrick, the wife of the alleged author of the Ripper Diaries , James Maybrick. In 1889, Maybrick died, apparently as a result of arsenic poisoning. In a notorious and highly unsatisfactory trial, Florence was charged with his murder and sentenced to death. Reprieved dramatically at the last minute, she spent fifteen years in prison. Was Florence set up? Was Maybrick s death and Florence s subsequent arrest related to the Ripper murders? Did Maybrick in fact die from arsenic poisoning at all...? Florence s turbulent life - her marriage to a man now widely believed to be Jack the Ripper, her scandalous affairs, her arrest for murdering her husband, her sensational trial - is the stuff of high drama. The Last Victim is a fascinating historical re-evaluation of one of the most extraordinary true crime puzzles of all time.
