Apropos of the Season

 They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but you can choose to put it on your bookshelf because of its cover.  This book has a beautiful cover, but it also looks interesting.  It is a collection of short biographical sketches of women, their crimes, and the events and people surrounding their crimes.  I just hope no one I know gets poisoned while I own this book; I would be suspect #1.
