Black Widow

talk snippet 

by Carol Baxter

Carol Baxter is an internationally acclaimed author and a cruise ship "enrichment speaker". Black Widow is the title of one of her books and cruise talks. Her talk description is as follows:

In 1888, the year Jack the Ripper launched himself onto the world stage, Louisa Collins found herself in Australia's spotlight. Nicknamed "The Lucretia Borgia of Botany Bay", she was declared by some to be worse than the Ripper. But was she innocent or guilty?

 

Louisa’s murder trials proved as divisive as Lindy Chamberlain's case a century later (as told in the movie Evil Angels with Meryl Streep).

A snippet from her Black Widow cruise talk is shown below.
