But marriage to her high school sweetheart, a cushy secretarial job, and motherhood were not enough to satisfy Marie, and she soon began to act out in troubling ways. Only when her husband, Frank, became sick with a mysterious illness, did it seem that she was ready to put someone else's needs ahead of her own. The truth was far more disturbing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Four years after Frank died, Marie's daughter, Carol, began to experience debilitating stomach pains. The young woman was near death when the horrifying reality finally emerged: Marie had poisoned her husband with arsenic and was attempting to do the same to her daughter. It was the first in a series of shocking twists that exposed Marie Hilley as a cold-blooded chameleon capable of the most sinister of crimes. From Alabama to Florida to New Hampshire, her trail of death and deceit included multiple identities, a second marriage, a false kidnapping, a fake death, several dramatic escapes, and a final act of desperation that brought the whole sordid saga to an astonishing end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A mesmerizing portrait of an American murderess with \"a genius for deception,\" \u003ci\u003ePoisoned Blood \u003c\/i\u003eis \"one of the most riveting true-crime stories in memory\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Open Road Integrated Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411257221271,"sku":"9781504068482","price":2562.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781504068482.webp?v=1767917699","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/poisoned-blood-a-true-story-of-murder-passion-and-an-astonishing-hoax-9781504068482","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
