The body count racks up as Jazz Age Chicagoâs most notorious female poisoner takes down husband after husband, and some other relatives while sheâs at it. Few, it seems, can resist Tillieâs cooking. But is this Mrs. Bluebeard working alone? Or is she part of a bigger, more diabolical "poison trust"? And can Chicagoâs Finest get to her before her latest husband, already mortally ill, dies? Poison Widow is a true-crime aficionadoâs feast, arsenic-laced and stuffed with tasty noir morsels.
