It was much easier to kill before you hadd to sign for poisons like arsenic-and even when all such poisons needed to  be signed for it didn't slow these women down.  With arsenic in things like wallpaper many women just made their own.  There were a few cases I had expected to be in the book, but after getting in to it I understood why--women who sent poisoned chocolates to kill ofof rivals and their children just didn't have the body count these women racked up, whether they used nightshade or arsenic.Many of these women  seemed so caring--taking care of the sick and feeding them good, home-cooked meals....so thoughtful, so caring  that they were told that they would be in the poor suffering victim's will.This was a little drier than i expected it to be, but all of the cases were very well researched and I didn't put it down until I finished it. If you have an intrest in history and how the view of women as the "weaker sex" allowed these women to rack up impressive body counts, you'll enjoy this.
