The true crime story of a New York mother who killed and a daughter who wouldn't die, from the author of A Killer's Touch and Watch Mommy Die.
Anti-Freeze For A Husband
It looked like a suicide. A man's corpse on the bathroom floor—next to a half-empty glass of anti-freeze. But fingerprints on the glass belonged to the deceased's wife, Stacey Castor. And a turkey baster in the garbage had police wondering if she force-fed the toxic fluid down her husband's throat.
Pills For A Daughter
In desperation, Stacey concocted a devious plan. She mixed a deadly cocktail of vodka and pills, then served it to her twenty-year-old daughter Ashley. The authorities would find Ashley with a suicide note, confessing to the anti-freeze murder. But Stacey's plan backfired—because Ashley refused to die . . .
A Killer For A Mother
Charged with murdering her second husband—and attempting to kill her oldest daughter—Stacey Castor sparked a media frenzy. But when police dug up her first husband's grave—and found anti-freeze in his body, too—this New York housewife earned a nickname that would follow her all the way to prison. They called her "The Black Widow." And with good reason.
The story that inspired the Lifetime film, Poisoned Love: The Stacey Castor Story, starring Nia Vardalos.
