A subject I am really interested in, I have read several books about female serial killers, this one is easy to read, divided into small chapters about each woman and very informative.

Most of these women are poisoners, some such as Lizzie Borden are violent killers, overall each chapter gives a short summary of their crimes and their punishment.

Informative, interesting and macabre, a perfect Halloween read 🎃
