Mary Clifford (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Mary Clifford Ir seems hardly necessary to say anything by way of introduction to this record of the life of a woman who was so widely loved and revered as Mary Clifford, but it is a joy to one who had the privilege of knowing her and working with her during many years to have the opportunity of adding a few words by way of introduction to a book which should be widely read.

This book features the cases of six London women, each very different in temperament, age and status, who resorted to murder. Their reasons were varied: in the case of the surly maid Kate Webster, sheer temper seems the likely cause; avarice seemed to spur Catherine Wilson to murder an estimated seven times; desperation to pay for the upkeep of her two-year-old son lay behind Sarah Drake's crime; seductive young cook Eliza Fenning was accused of serving poison with her dumplings; evil mistress Elizabeth Brownrigg whipped her servant to death in a home-built dungeon; and finally, the vicious Catherine Hayes persuaded two lovers – one of whom was her own son – to decapitate her husband in an orgy of violence. This fascinating study explores these cases in depth, and reveals whether these women were tragic, misunderstood or just plain wicked.
