Devil's Rooming House: The True Story of America's Deadliest Female Serial Killer | M. William Phelps

#Criminals

This is my latest true crime purchase and the inspiration for the film, Arsenic and Old Lace - the real story of the woman who murdered her two husbands and up to 66 (!) boarders in early 1900's New England.
