It’s not easy turning a serial killer into a humorous story, but I think I have done a good job in this VERY short, about a 15 minute read, story. I know when I present The Murderous Madam at speaking engagements, my audience is howling! Dollie Wiley was known to collect two things, husbands and diamonds. Diamonds worked out well, husbands didn’t. As a prostitute and madam, the diamonds were her safety net. Dollie married quickly and frequently, because her husbands died quickly and frequently. Why bother with a prolonged and messy divorce when a pistol or rat poison is within easy reach?
