In the 1950s Macon Georgia was a sleepy little town where doors remained unlocked and crime was something that occurred in other places. Anjette Lyle s restaurant was a popular gathering place. It was the place to go for lunch to hear the latest news. Then one day Anjette Lyles was charged with the murders of two husbands her mother-in-law and her nine-year-old daughter all committed over the course of seven years. The case was the most sensational Macon had ever seen. The newspaper accounts spiced up the allegations of murder with references to voodoo ceremonies and black magic. The trial attracted record crowds and received worldwide coverage. Anjette Lyles was a glamorous figure and spectators stood in line for hours hoping for just a glimpse of the defendant. Both lucidly written and emotionally engaging this is the story of a woman who was called both cold-blooded and the sweetest woman I ever knew and despite overwhelming evidence and her conviction many still believe that she was innocent.
