Black Widow

Black Widow is an incredible book. Not because the author does a great job writing it, but because the facts the author presents- yes, just facts and details- are so incredible you'll spend the whole night up reading it!! When I say the book has literally, secrets, deceipt, lies, multiple personality, and SO MANY characters and details I mean it. I'm not saying this to sound literary and prosy, it's true!! I mean, the subject matter is so incredible, it just couldn't be a boring book ,and Robin McDonald, a reporter who did some stories on the case does a good job writing about it. A family tree would have been helpful because the author manages to get information from Marie's parents and so on. The book is great. It's like 400 pages long and the type is REALLY small so it'll take a whole day to read it, but I bet you won't put it down. This particular version has an update on her escape and later death in Canada. She freezes to death outside of a house, after she skips town when she is allowed a leave from her prison cell (after being convictedon charges of poisoning her husband, her mother I think, and her daughter, she is so cunning she is able to convince jail officials she deserves weekend leaves! Go figure!). An excellent book!!! I thoroughly recommend it.
