Sounds bizarre.

1. I know I read at least one true crime book about anti-freeze

poisonings. I can't think of the name of it though, but I think it happened in NY state.

2. I've read that though it is possible to survive ingesting anti-freeze...

it's very deadly stuff.

3. There was a movie just on about the case I was thinking of

"The Marie Hilley Story". She poisoned her husband (he died) and her daughter who survived and testified against her.

4. I've read that a significant portion of women who kill are "poisoners."

5. I guess it's an easy way to do it.....

That made me think of the movie "Arsenic and Old Lace" for some reason :-).

6. Ever read any Roald Dahl?

He has a rather famous short story about this topic...which I guess I shouldn't spoil for you in case you want to read it.

7. No I haven't. Thanks for the tip though

and I will look for him :-).

8. "The Landlady" is a great story.

It wigged me out in 8th grade Lit.
