    Poisoned by Love: The Kern County Murders, also known as, Murder So Sweet, (1993) is an American TV movie starring Harry Hamlin and Helen Shaver that aired on CBS on February 2, 1993.[1][2] It is based on the real-life murders carried out by Steven David Catlin that occurred in Bakersfield, California in the 1980s.

    Plot

    [edit]

    Steve Catlin was known as a real lady-killer. But it's his new bride's mysterious death that causes his former wife, Edie Ballew, to question how accurate that nickname really is. With little more than a hunch and the help of an out-of-town detective, Edie secretly pieces together clues that reveal her cunning and smooth-talking ex-husband as a cold, methodical killer.[1]
