On this episode of Most Notorious, I'm joined by Dr. Samantha Battams, who documents the life and times of serial killer Martha Needle in her book "The Secret Art of Poisoning: The True Crimes of Martha Needle, The Richmond Poisoner."

Martha Needle was accused of poisoning her three children, husband and future brother-in-law in late 19th century Australia.
