Publisher's summary

Here are 13 cases of fatal passions, unfortunate acquaintances, and gruesome endings.

The 13 killings-by-poison revisited in this book were committed by some of the most infamous murderers in British and American history. Presenting infamous cases from 1857-1972, Adrian Vincent recounts their sinister tales and reveals the lure of money, lust, and deviancy that drove them to pure evil.

Some of the dark cases covered in this fascinating book include Dorothea Waddingham, better known as the Angel of Death, who ran a nursing home that did more than just care for the elderly, and Tillie Gburek, a so-called psychic who could accurately predict when people would die - because she'd already scheduled their murders.

A Gallery of Poisoners is classic true crime at its best - thrilling and disturbing in equal measure. Perfect for any fan of historical true crime!

Entertaining series of case profiles

There are cases from U.S. and England. We’ll written and the cases stay around long enough to be fully explained but not too long so they get boring.

Harsh, subjective descriptions of females that are irrelevant to the story


Not surprised at all to learn the author's a man. He went in REAL hard on the fat shaming and making sure the reader knows that a victorian era killer is ugly(only if they're female).
He literally uses words like "elephantine" to describe a woman who was OVER 200 POUNDS. Can you imagine?! No mention of her height....
Completely irrelevant to the story, and we never hear comments on a male's appearance. How much did Dr. Crippen weigh?
He should've done more research, figured out what the through line of the damn book was, and focus on facts when writing a nonfiction book- not opinions and irrelevant, subjective details
