+ Want to read

Black Widow is a spellbinding thriller of a true crime that resulted in a sensationally publicized murder trial. Audrey Marie Hilley was a charming, church-going woman who was at once a soft-spoken housewife and a seductive killer. R. Robin McDonald holds 13 state and regional reporting awards and will tour—with the killer's daughter—to 10 major southern cities. 16 pages of photos.
