Featured review
Louise Masset
Louise Masset was half French and a woman of loose morals and unashamed of it.
She had a son Manfred born out of wedlock. The father who was in France provided for the child but he was placed with a foster mother.
Louise Masset gave piano lessons and taught France. She had a young lover, a 19 year old medical student.
One day Louise yanked her son away from her foster mother. She planned to leave Manfred with her father, while she would have a passionate weekend in Brighton with her lover.
Only Manfred was killed in a railway station waiting room and Louise was convicted for killing her child.
Edward Woodward gave a rather half hearted alternative explanation. Even he did not seem convinced with Louise's story of two sisters who operated a school and took Manfred away to teach.
There is a subtext of Victorian values and Louise certainly did not practice it. Hence the jury's rush to convict. It might just had been Louise was guilty of not such a well planned murder.
