Raised in a swamp by a mad witch, poor Louisa grew up with one goal in mind: to marry a wealthy man, then inherit his lands and money by whatever means it takes. And Louisa may well succeed, for she is a stunning beauty with the manners of an angel. At last she sets off to make her fortune . . . and with the help of her vial of undetectable poison, she soon finds her first victim. A dazzlingly dark fantasy, as only Tanith Lee could write it!

      In this novella that packs a punch, the impoverished yet well-mannered Louisa sets off to make a fortune using her titular skills given to her by a swamp witch. As the body count rises, the noose begins to tighten around our antiheroine. Part Austenian romance and part pitch-dark fantasy, this classic shows off the late Lee's considerable talents and inimitable style of cerebral fantasy. VERDICT Readers seeking a delightfully immoral protagonist and gleeful vandalism of traditional tropes will savor this delicious tale.
