Lizzie Halliday was born in Ireland around 1859. Lizzie moved to the United States with her family as a young child. Lizzie was married several times. Her first husband, Charles Hopkins, died, leaving her with one son. Her second husband, Artemus Brewer, died a year after their marriage. Her third husband, Hiram Parkinson, abandoned her due to her behavior before they had been married a year. She next married George Smith, hoping to cash in on his war pension. She tried to poison him, failed, and ran away to marry some other unsuspecting fool, named Charles Playstel, but ran away again after a couple of weeks. Her final husband was Paul Halliday. Lizzie went wild, murdering several people before she was finally brought to justice.

This book is free to listen to in the Audible Plus catalog, and I listened to it in one shift today at work. It was around six hours to listen to. The physical book is about 250 pages. I had never heard of this woman or her murders, so this was a very informative book. I just recommended it to my sister.
