ARSENIC AND RESPECTABILITY - Mary Ann Cotton and the Limits of Victorian Justice
By Alana Sanchez
Length52m
About this audiobook
In a world where women were caregivers, where death among the poor was expected. Mary Ann Cotton became respectable. She was a nurse, a wife, a mother. And while she comforted, she poisoned. Arsenic and Respectability is a precise, unnerving portrait of a society where poisoning was easier concealed than suspected.
