Bruce Orr takes a hard look at the myths behind the legend of the nation's first convicted female serial killer in Six Miles to Charleston. This was heavily fact based and research heavy but did give a lot of insight into Orrs personal opinion. Legend has it, John and Lavinia owned an inn just six miles north of Charleston. When someone would stop there on their way in or out of town, Lavinia would invite them to tea and ask questions to determine if the guest had anything of value on them and if they would be missed should they not turn up at the next destination. If the visitor fit the bill, Lavinia would poison them with tea. Once the guest was asleep in their hotel room, Lavinia would sneak into the room, pull a lever, and the unsuspecting guest would fall into the basement pit, allegedly full of spikes. John Fisher would then dismember the body while Lavinia robbed them of their belongings. The rumours around them being caught and their subsequent deaths spur rumours throughout the community that still carry on today and I appreciate Orrs attempt to look at the stories and research what actually happened. Did they do it? Were they guilty? You need to be willing to look past this essentially reading like a VERY enthusiastic kids science fair project but it's quick and interesting and you can see the interest from the author.
