Publisher's Synopsis
The thirteen killings-by-poison revisited in this book were committed by some of the most infamous murderers in British and American history. Some of the dark cases covered in this fascinating book include Dorothea Waddingham, better known as the Angel of Death, who ran a nursing home that did more than just care for the elderly, and Tillie Gburek, a so-called psychic who could accurately predict when people would die - because she'd already scheduled their murders.
This book details various cases of murder by poison in England, the United States, and Scotland. The13 cases described in this book really tore at my heart, especially since some of the victims were babies and little children. Poison is such a cruel way to murder anyone. The cruelty was hard to read and I nearly didn't finish reading the book.
