Arsenic in the Attic: The Shocking Biography of Amy Archer-Gilligan - Paperback

by John M. Woodward (Author)

The Woman Who Promised Care And Delivered Death.

Behind the quiet walls of a Connecticut nursing home, a darkness festered where compassion should have lived. Arsenic in the Attic unravels the chilling true story of Amy Archer-Gilligan, the seemingly devoted caretaker who became one of America's most notorious female murderers. With the depth, intensity, and investigative sweep worthy of Robert Caro, this biography peels back every layer of her life: the innocent beginnings, the marriages marked by tragedy, the residents who trusted her, and the quiet, calculated poison that ended their days.

Step inside the Archer Home, where spotless floors hid deadly secrets and the soft clink of a water glass became a final sound for many. Discover how a pillar of her community transformed into the inspiration behind Arsenic and Old Lace, a legend wrapped in horror and dark humor.
