The late reign of Louis XIV. A death that should have been ordinary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn 31 July 1672, a man is found dead in his Paris rooms-and an inventory opens a locked cassette that should never have been opened. Inside: \"diverse vials\" and nine letters linked to Marie-Madeleine d'Aubray, Marquise de Brinvilliers. In the official account, those letters point to an unthinkable claim: that a noblewoman poisoned her own father (1666) and two brothers (1670). And the vials? \"Virulent poisons\" said to leave little trace-perfect for a world where illness already looked like death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat begins as a private scandal becomes a matter of state, tangled with money, influence, and ministerial rivalry. Brinvilliers runs. Paris hunts. And when the machinery of justice finally closes around her, \"truth\" is produced through procedure-confession, coercion, and spectacle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Marquise of Poison is true crime and history: it follows the paper trail, keeps the legal process visible, and separates what can be shown from what is merely said-refusing the easy, sensational version of a case that terrified a city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContent note: murder, coercion, judicial violence, and execution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alana Sanchez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798250561044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.55d","brand":"Alana Sanchez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997517525247,"sku":"9798250561044","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-marquise-of-poison-alana-sanchez-9798250561044","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
