Arthur Warren Waite's marriage to the daughter of wealthy Grand Rapids business tycoon John E. Peck in 1916 was a union that would ultimately prove to be a fatal mistake.

This is a true crime story that will appeal to anyone interested in the darker side of human nature. With its intricate plot and surprising twists, Poisoning the Pecks of Grand Rapids is a compelling read that sheds new light on a long-forgotten scandal.
