There are ALMOST NO MEN LEFT IN THIS VILLAGE. THEY ALL WERE POISONED BY WOMEN... THE HISTORY OF THE MOST MASS MURDER COMMITTED BY WOMEN - POISONERS FROM HUNGARY KILLED FROM 50 TO 300 PEOPLE. The largest serial murders committed by women occurred in the quiet Hungarian village after the First world war. Zsuzsanna Fazekas, a local midwife, skillfully extracted arsenic from flypaper - and suggested that women get rid of men who had become a burden after returning from the war. At first, they used Aunt Zhuzha’s poison to free themselves from cruel and seriously ill spouses, but gradually they became bolder. Sick old people, unwanted children, guilty husbands - all became victims of poison due to domestic violence, poverty or the desire to receive an inheritance. The crimes were revealed only in 1929, when several dozen women were already drawn into the criminal adventure, poisoning of men became commonplace, and the number only the proven victims reached 50 people... Gripping and artistic, the book tells what atrocities women are driven to by despair and how these decade-and-a-half-long crimes became known throughout the world. “When women in the quiet, remote village of Nagyrev in Hungary felt that they could no longer bear burdened with caring for their husbands and being treated poorly, they turned to Auntie Zsuzsa for advice. The midwife had a simple solution to any problem - a bottle of arsenic in her apron pocket. Patty McCracken brings to life the sights, sounds and smells of a farming village as she painstakingly reconstructs one of the most mysterious mass murders in history." - Patrick Perry, editor-in-chief of The Saturday Evening Post "A dark, macabre story told in a gripping true-crime style." – Vineyard Gazette
