Black Widow

talk snippet 

by Carol Baxter

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

“The Lucrezia Borgia of Botany Bay!”, Australia nicknamed her. “Worse than Jack the Ripper!”, some declared. But was Louisa Collins guilty or innocent of the arsenic deaths of her two husbands … and perhaps others.

 

Louisa’s murder trials occurred at the time when Jack the Ripper was scaring London and 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.
