MacClure examines a series of women whose names became famous in the courts, not all of them guilty. Among them are a countess and her accomplice, the murderess whom Hogarth sketched in her cell, the Baronne de Feuchères in the last years of Charles X, a poisoner who killed with arsenic in Brittany, and a pair of merry widows.
Lively, sceptical true crime for readers who enjoy historical trials and their personalities. Download the free EPUB.
