Description:

A fascinating, unique book that explores the true history of 13 Victorian French & American murderesses. Among the 13 is Marie Lafarge, a wife disappointed with her marriage her family had arranged for her and solved her disappointment by feeding her husband large doses of arsenic. There is also Constance Kent, whose hatred for her step-mother and step-brother led her to commit an unspeakable crime. Another case concerns Claire Raymond, a young woman who was driven by her unfaithful husband to kill his mistress.Probably the most lurid, and detestable case concerns governess Celestine Doudet, who beat and tortured the children in her care until two of them died. Sensational and gripping showing women are every bit as cool, calculating and dangerous as any man. A book tough to put down.
