I received a letter from Malinda asking for help. She is trying to identify an author of a\u00a0mystery series\u00a0who she read several years ago – with an Arsenic and Old Lace<\/a> type-of-theme going. (By the way, if you haven’t seen this Cary Grant movie that Frank\u00a0Capra directed in\u00a01941, but which wasn’t\u00a0released until\u00a01944\u00a0>>> try to!)<\/p>\n

“My real question…\u00a0is:<\/p>\n

Many years ago, when I first began reading mysteries, I read a book about a couple of elderly sisters who used herbs to kill people who “deserved to die.” It was similar to the Wives’ Club and Arsenic and Old Lace, but none of those are the correct ones.<\/p>\n

Do you have ANY IDEA???<\/p>\n

Any help you can give, suggestions… will be appreciated.<\/p>\n

Thanks!
\nMalinda”<\/p>\n

Since I have had such a great success rate when asking for your help before, I decided to give this question a try!<\/p>\n

Thank you all for your help in the past, and in the future!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
