Synopsis

Female Serial Killers Through Time

The fair sex. We've often heard this clichéd expression being used to refer to women. Although it has become increasingly outdated, the mindset still exists that women are the gentle and nurturing sex. When it comes to murder, that notion gets turned on its head. And this isn't a recent phenomenon; we can find plenty of female killers going back in history. In fact, some of the world's most notorious serial killers have been women. These female killers give their male counterparts a run for their money and deserve to be counted among the most famous serial killers.

Unearth the disturbing histories of notorious women. From the chilling accounts of infamous black widow murders to the spine-tingling narratives of women who shocked the world with their sinister deeds, this anthology delves deep into the minds of these deadly women. Spanning eras and continents, these tales of true crime offer a chilling exploration of the darkest corners of human nature.

If you liked books such as Lady Killers, The Big Book of Serial Killers, or The Best New True Crime Stories, you'll love Women Who Murder.

Goodreads review by Gala on January 30, 2025

4.5 Aquí hubo casos muy duros y solo conocía uno de ellos. Siempre es sorprendente oír los motivos por los que otros matan. Constantemente me causa curiosidad cómo y cuándo es que la gente pienda "Fácil,voy a matarle". También es perturbador leer a las mujeres que pudieron simplemente matar víctima......more

Goodreads review by Mortisha on September 21, 2024

In this book, the author tells the stories of Women murderers around the world and what led them to kill. I did appreciate the backstories behind the women as they grew up, but I must say that I didn't agree with the author on a few cases. There are other ways out of a situation than to kill.......more
