Download The Devil's Rooming House: The True Story of America's Deadliest Female Serial Killer AudioBook Free
A silent, simmering killer terrorized New Britain in 1911. A warmth influx unlike any that had come before wiped out people in the pavements, brought on others to drown in the waters where they desired relief, and drove still others to suicide. As more than 2,000 people died through the natural catastrophe, another silent killer commenced her own murderous spree. Amy Archer-Gilligan handled the Archer Home for Elderly People and Chronic Invalids in Windsor, Connecticut. What was regarded as a good business run by the pioneering woman was exposed as little greater than a murder stock. Amy would be accused of murdering both her husbands and dozens (as many as 60) of her older patients with cocktails of lemonade and arsenic - all for money. She'd be convicted and sentenced to hold, and her storyline would surprise turn-of-the-century America and provide the motivation for the Broadway experience and basic film Arsenic and Old Ribbons. Acclaimed offense copy writer and New York Times best-selling writer M. William Phelps has written the first publication to tell the true storyline of greed and murder even more surprising than its imaginary counterpart. Visitors will enter some sort of Twilight Zone in which a Bible-thumping caretaker and business owner of the nursing home industry became one of history's most evil feminine serial killers. With first-hand accounts from Amy's "inmates", riveting trial transcripts, and accounts from the investigative journalists who protected the situation, Phelps puts viewers face-to-face with a woman who was simply both a Black colored Widow and an Angel of Death. And Phelps paints a brilliant, spine-chilling portrait of turn-of-the-century New Britain. That is historical true offense at its best.
