In the follow-up season to Lucy Worsley’s BBC podcast Lady Killers, in which she tells the stories of eight 19th-century “murderesses,” the historian turns her attention to the Anna Delveys of history, from “the Yorkshire Witch,” who sold charms and potions with allegedly magic properties, to Annie Gordon Baillie, a Scottish scam artist who maintained over 40 aliases. Along with her all-female team of detectives, Worsley investigates their salacious stories, bringing the forgotten femme fatales back to life in invigorating detail. —Paulina Prosnitz
