Description
Poison has always been the preferred weapon of death for a lady. Maybe because it requires neither physical strength nor contact but does require a degree of intelligence to adminster. Or simply because, before the days of forensic science, it was almost impossible to detect. Two of the greatest Victorian poison cases are those of Madeleine Smith and Florence Maybrick, which despite over 100 years scrutiny still remain unsolved. Read about these poisonous women and their mystifying killings along with many other historic cryptic cases in Mysterious Murders.
