Menopause is Murder20 Marras 2025

Tea for Two… and Arsenic for You

In this episode of Menopause is Murder, Marguerite takes us on a chilling journey back to early 20th-century Johannesburg, where tea time could be deadly and a dose of arsenic was just another household item. With her signature mix of charm and dark humor, Marguerite unravels the tale of Daisy de Melker—a nurse, mother, and suspected serial poisoner whose husbands and son kept meeting the most unfortunate ends. Was Daisy a cunning Black Widow who brewed her victims’ fate one teacup at a time, or simply a woman caught in the toxic gossip of her era? Grab your cup (and maybe test it first) as Marguerite serves up this vintage case with all the sass, suspense, and scandal you’ve come to love from Menopause is Murder.
