The Mysterious Death of Charles Lafarge : Murderous Mondays
In the year 1840, a captivating question gripped the minds of people far and wide: Did Marie Lafarge commit the crime? A young, alluring woman in possession of a modest inheritance, Marie found herself thrust into a marriage orchestrated by an uncle. The marriage led her to reside in the decaying confines of an ancient Carthusian monastery, situated in a quaint village where she stood out as an outsider. As events unfolded, Marie's husband, steadfast in his refusal to dissolve the union, fell inexplicably ill.
Delving into the depths of this riveting tale, we explore the complexities of Marie Lafarge's life, her relationships, and the circumstances that ultimately led to the captivating trial that held the public in its thrall.
