The Seven-layered Arsenic Cake of Madame Lafarge

Crime classics brought to you by Plymouth, with a reminder that tomorrow is the day for your first look at the big, bright, beautiful new 54 Plymouth on display tomorrow. Good evening. I am Thomas Highland with another true story of crime. Listen.

That was a cake baker breaking an egg, and separating it, the white here, the oak here. That was the last of 12 eggs to be separated. Next step in the recipe, beat the whites. Our cake baker is French and a good baker too, so of course the cake will be of a lightness and a delicacy that...

a cake that kisses back. Pour in the sugar, the flour, and now the ingredient that makes this cake different from all other cakes. You didn't hear anything because it was only a smidgen. And smidgen's don't make any more noise, not even a smidgen of arsenic, of which that was.

The noise comes later. So tonight, my report to you on the seven layered arsenic cake of Madame LaFarge. Crime classics, a new series of true crime stories taken from the records and newspapers of every land from every time.
