They used arsenic to obtain chemical divorces and strychnine to settle scores. They bludgeoned husbands to make way for lovers. They flattened love triangles with blunt objects. They murdered for money, for revenge and for pleasure. They are the killer women of Michigan. A mother-daughter duo’s alleged crimes had legislators contemplating mandatory sterilization for certain individuals, and a serial wife had the peculiar luck of wedding men inclined to premature death. Three wannabe showgirls helped a con man take a rich lawyer for a ride. An heiress’s love story with an earthy mechanic ended in a graveyard, and a spurned wife butchered her husband. Author and researcher Tobin T. Buhk introduces you to the bad, the mad and the sad women who painted Michigan red. Paperback Book | 6 x 9 | 176 pages |
