The angel makers : arsenic, a midwife, and modern history's most astonishing murder ring

McCracken, Patricia Nell (author.).

Summary: The horror occurred in a rustic farming enclave in modern-day Hungary. To look at the unlikely lineup of murderesses - village wives, mothers, and daughters - was to come to the shocking realization that this could have happened anywhere, and to anyone. At the center of it all was a sharp-minded village midwife known as Auntie Suzy, who distilled arsenic from flypaper and distributed it to the women of Nagyrév. Anonymous notes brought the crimes to light in 1929. This book captures in expertly researched detail the entirety of this harrowing story, from the early murders to the final hanging.
