SEASON 2 : EPISODE 37
FEBRUARY 14, 2024
This is the Valentines Day episode. If there’s one thing you can count on in A Good Night For a Murder on Valentine’s Day, it’s a love triangle and a poisoning.
This is the story of chocolate cream killer, Christana Edmunds.

The bonus content on Patreon for this episode is something a little bit different. I thought I’d try to find some historic true crimes that occurred on Valentine’s Day, and when I did there is one case stood out head and shoulders above anything else
And that is the Valentine’s Day Massacre of 1929.
