  • ""This riveting combination of true crime and social history examines a dozen cases from the 1800s involving French and English women charged with murder. Each incident was a cause celebre, and this mixture of scandal and scholarship offers illuminating details of backgrounds, deeds, and trials. "The real delight is that historian Mary S. Hartman does more than reconstruct twelve famous trials.
