About this product
Product Information
Albin Ludwig was furious. He had caught his wife, Cecilia, with other men before; now, after secretly following Cecilia one evening in 1906, Albin was overcome with suspicion. Albin and Cecilia quarreled that night and again the next day. Prosecutors later claimed that the final quarrel ended when Albin knocked Cecilia unconscious with a wooden potato masher, doused her with a flammable liquid, lit her on fire, and left her to burn to death. Albin claimed self-defense, but he was convicted of second-degree murder. Newspaper coverage of the dramatic crime and trial was jarringly explicit and detailed, shocking readers in Indiana, where the crime occurred. Peter Young of the South Bend Times wrote that the murder's horrors and its shocking features . . . have never before been witnessed in Mishawaka. The story was front-page news throughout northern Indiana for much of a year. For several generations, the families of both Cecilia and Albin would be silent about the crime-until Cecilia's great-grandson, award-winning journalist Gary Sosniecki, uncovered the family's dark secret. As he discovered, wife beating was commonplace in the early 20th century (before the gender-neutral term of domestic violence was adopted), and wife murder was so common that newspapers described virtually every case by that term. At long last, The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband unearths the full story of two immigrant families united by love and torn apart by domestic violence.

The book itself was a bargain, but communication and postage time was poor and definitely not as described. Order placed 22/4/24 with arrival time given (Royal Mail) as between 1-8/5/14. When it hadn’t been dispatched 5th May, I sent an email to nudge them. They replied the next day to say they’d just posted it, which was untrue. In actuality they posted it (Yodel, not Royal Mail) on 9th May, which was the day after the latest day it was supposed to have arrived. It actually arrived 13th May.
