There are even more people involved in the true Philadelphia Poison Scandal, which the book is based on. I looked up the factual information about this conspiracy and it boggled my mind.sahmoun2778 wrote:I'm about a third of the way through and can hardly put it down. It is a bit of a brain challenge though with all the different characters to keep track of. It's a bit shocking to think that this one guy is aiding and abetting all these murders. This is in my "I thought I had heard it all" category. Gotta get back to the story now.

I think there were at least 60 wives involved.

That's exactly how I felt! I always thought women in the 1930's were busy doing laundry, baking casseroles, dusting, going to the beauty salon.sahmoun2778 wrote:This book is changing my perception of the 30's. I admit to a tendency to think that violent crime and evil exists only in my lifetime and that previous generations were much tamer. But this story blows that all to hell. These women are not hardened criminals or mob bosses, they are just ordinary housewives who don't seem to hesitate at all before committing murder and whose only remorse is in getting caught.
