On February 28, 1905, Mrs. Jane Stanford died at the Moana Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii of apparent strychnine poisoning.
Was Stanford University’s report that she died by natural causes a cover-up? Could it have been murder? Did her brother mastermind her death to collect his inheritance? Did the Stanford University president need to be rid of her? Perhaps her personal secretary was not as loyal as she appeared? Or did Jane Stanford choose to join her beloved late husband and son in the afterlife?
In Who Murdered Jane Stanford? the facts of the case are woven against the backdrop of the history of turn-of-the-century Hawaii. You follow the investigation, the coroner’s report, the court inquiry, and you read the newspapers of the day. It is left for you to decide—but your answer can only be imagined, because to this day, no one actually knows how Mrs. Jane Stanford died.
REVIEWS:
“. . . a rigorously researched mystery wrapped in an entertaining tale . . . Dee knows the truth.” Robert P. Cutler, Author of The Mysterious Death of Jane Stanford. Professor emeritus Stanford University Medical School.
“. . . makes Waikiki at the turn of the century come alive. It will keep you guessing until the last page.” Honolulu Star-Ledger.
“Buckingham takes us on a stroll through Hawaii of 1898, with all its political intrigue, and Gilded Age lifestyle . . . an easy read . . . a surprise ending. Got me wondering just how did Mrs. Stanford die.” Kirk Matthews, TV Anchor, KHON Honolulu.
