About this episode
It's Episode 10 and we're celebrating reaching double digits with the story of one of the most famous poisoners of the Victorian age - serial killer Mary Ann Cotton.
Did she really kill as many as 21 adults and children during her lifetime, or was her interest in life insurance just a coincidence? And will we survive Nick's deadly cocktail...?
This first of 2 episodes on this case, so let's dive into this juicy tale.
This week's secret ingredient is...arsenic?!!!
