November 23rd -- Crime Hottie Sylvia Perrini!
Yes, she's brilliant, talented, accomplished, and hotter than a two dollar pistol -- she is an expert on WOMEN WHO KILL, and when it comes to POISON, she knows how to party like its 1849.
The 19th Century is often regarded as the heyday of poisoners. In the beginning to the middle of the nineteenth century, a poisoning panic engrossed the public imagination. In the Times newspaper in England, between 1830 and 1839, fifty-nine cases of murder by poisoning were reported. By the 1840s, the number reported had risen to hundreds. And, of these hundreds of poisonings, sixty percent involved women murderers.
In this fascinating book, best selling author Sylvia Perrini, looks at serial women killers around the world in the 19th Century. Nearly all the cases, but not all, involve poisoning.
Listen live and hear Sylvia answer the #1 question on Burl Barer's mind: "What are you wearing?"
