Black Widow: the True Story of Australia's First Female Serial Killer

Black Widow: the True Story of Australia's First Female Serial Killer by Carol Baxter
English | June 1st, 2015 | ISBN: 1743315015 | 319 pages | EPUB | 1.82 MB

Two inquests, four trials, three hung juries and the executioner…but was Louisa Collins really a husband killer? Was she the callous adulteress, drunkard and liar known as the Botany Bay Murderess and the Lucrezia Borgia of Botany Bay? Or was this mother of seven a spirited and defiant woman who was punished for breaching society's expectations of womanly behaviour?

Compelling, freshly told and richly detailed, Black Widow uncovers the truth of a story that challenged the morality, the politics and the notion of law in an Australia on the edge of nationhood.
