Jeremiah GabrielCan't beat this if you're looking for a non-fiction book about women who poisoned people. Thankfully does not follow the traditional (yet irritating) habit of authors to describe the crimes as horrible cruel awful bad, without actually giving more detail. Also gives a primer on poisons and herbs, and treats everyone like humans instead of villains vs saints.
