Society’s Deadliest Soirées: Infamous Women Series: 2

Behind polished manners, elegant gowns, and respectable society lurked jealousy, greed, betrayal, and sometimes murder.Society's Deadliest Soirées, the second book in Deborah Kunzie's Infamous Women Series, steps into the darker side of women's history, where scandal often hid behind drawing-room doors and respectable appearances could conceal dangerous secrets.These are the stories of women connected to notorious crimes, suspicious deaths, shocking accusations, and sensational cases that captured public attention in their own time. Some were feared. Some were condemned. Some became infamous through newspaper headlines and courtroom testimony.

More infamous women and forgotten stories are still to come.
