The gripping tale of a legendary, century-old murder spree *** A
silent, simmering killer terrorized New England in1911. As a
terrible heat wave killed more than 2,000 people, another silent
killer began her own murderous spree. That year a reporter for the
Hartford Courant noticed a sharp rise in the number of obituaries
for residents of a rooming house in Windsor, Connecticut, and began
to suspect who was responsible: Amy Archer-Gilligan, who'd opened
the Archer Home for Elderly People and Chronic Invalids four years
earlier. "Sister Amy" would be accused of murdering both of her
husbands and up to sixty-six of her patients with cocktails of
lemonade and arsenic; her story inspired the Broadway hit Arsenic
and Old Lace. The Devil's Rooming House is the first book about the
life, times, and crimes of America's most prolific female serial
killer. In telling this fascinating story, M. William Phelps also
paints a vivid portrait of early-twentieth-century New England.
