Publisher's Synopsis
When Ethel Griggs died suddenly in the Australian country town of Omeo in January 1928, rumours about her husband's blatant affair with Lottie, the lovely 26-year-old daughter of local Methodist elder, Jack Condon, were rife. So rife that despite a doctor's certificate suggesting natural causes, police ordered Ethel's body to be exhumed and the young mother was found to have died from arsenic poisoning.
