About this episode
Love can do funny things to a person, especially when it's unrequited...
This week we look at the sensational case of Christiana Edmunds, the Chocolate Cream Killer of Brighton who took unbelievable steps to get the attention of one man in the late 1800s.
Why was she so obsessed with chocolate, shouldn't the Pharmacy Act have stopped her, or did she simply have a bad case of wandering womb?
This week's secret cocktail ingredient is...chocolate (surprise surprise!)
