By Marie Besnard. With an introduction by Sybille Bedford. “She stood accused of mrudering 13 people, including her mother, father, and husband…” Accused French serial poisoner Besnard was tried, and acquitted, three times; she tells her story in this early-sixties PB.

It looks its age — shelfwear; remainder-ish marks along the top and bottom page edges; fairly advanced toning — but the pages are snug and clean (though one is dog-eared, as shown). A somewhat scarce account of a somewhat forgotten case, this is a solid reading copy.
