A Bitter Brew Faith, Power, and Poison in a Small New England Town Hardback - 2005
by Christine Ellen Young
Who set out to kill the members of the church?
On April 27, 2003, in the hamlet of New Sweden, Maine, Walter Morrill was sipping coffee in the fellowship hall of the Gustaf Adolph Lutheran Church. Within 12 hours, the kindly old man was dead. Fifteen other members of the congregation fell gravely ill. Ruled a homicide, the largest criminal arsenic poisoning in U.S. history spread whispers of fear through this peaceful town.
Which one of their close friends was the murderer?
Panic and suspicion gave way to bizarre accusations of conspiracy, revenge, and blood feuds. It would also expose a sinister town secret-buried years before on a frozen winter night in 1997.
Who was next?
What would unfold in New Sweden was a real-life murder mystery worthy of Agatha Christie-but far stranger than any fiction.
First line
Stubborn mounds of snow dotted the brownish-green lawn of Gustaf Adolph Evangelical Lutheran Church in New Sweden, Maine, even though it was April 27, 2003, the first Sunday after Easter.
