Blanche Kiser was born in North Carolina in 1933. Her father was a Baptist minister, who Blanche would later claim was abusive, alcoholic, and much more. He father died suddenly from a heart attack, which now has an air of suspicion around it. Blanche married James N. Taylor in 1952, with whom she had two children. Blanche did not have a great relationship with her mother-in-law, who died suddenly of...a heart attack... During their marriage, she began working at Kroger. While working at Kroger, Blanche seemed to be a favorite of male customers and coworkers. Her husband would die in 1973 of...a heart attack... She eventually began a relationship with a coworker, who would later die from arsenic poisoning. While this man was dying in the hospital, she was canoodling with a preacher that she would eventually marry. The preacher also took ill much like her last two main squeezes and found himself in the hospital. Blanche and her killing spree were uncovered due to another positive arsenic test.

This woman was WILD. She got up to some SHENANAGINS. The only complaint I have about this book is that it kept repeating how beautiful this woman was, and Google disagrees with the gaslighting going on here. She was BOLD. She was manipulative and calculating. I would also really like to know the real story about her dad and her childhood, as you cannot believe a thing this woman says. The book was really interesting. I listened to it in one shift at work and was very engaged in it. Overall, a solid true crime book.
