Wish there had been more variety it was mostly poisonings with arsenic so some of the stories faded away in my head

Glad that this book didn't perpetuate the glorification of serial killers and did act like these women were girlbosses when for real they were murderers

 I read this in one day and I really found it very entertaining. It kept me hooked and wanting more. I have heard of one or two of the killers in the book but most were new to me. I had to look them up after I was done reading because I wanted to know more about them. I understood why she picked older women to write about and that is what I liked about the book the most. I will be picking up her new books once it comes out.
