SUCH LETHAL LADIES.

Hardback. This collection of true-crime cases is devoted to accounts of a dozen lethal females who provide very different comparisons for study. The range of their crimes also varies, both in the manner of the murders they committed and in time and place. Several crimes possess an element of mystery, while others involve sexual brutality. In such a richly diverse anthology the poisoner still holds a special place - for poisoning is often viewed as a crime particularly associated with women. Includes : Elvira Barney, Louise Peete, the Papin sisters, Dorothea Waddingham, Anna Hahn, Caroline Grills, May Churchill ('Chicago' May), Countess Tarnowska, Florence Bravo, + others. 172pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in Nr. F. dw. which has sunned sp.
