rcsreads's review against another edition
2.5
For several of the murdresses I can just Google female serial killers and get more information than Telfer provides and frequently better writing. There's nothing on the Benders that I can't learn from Wikipedia and it has more detail and less of an obsession with how attractive Kate was.
If you want an in depth look at which murdresses were the prettiest then this is the book for you. If you want actual facts then there are plenty of online articles and probably many better written books.

The narrative voice Tori Telfer employed was engaging and also injected some humour, but sometimes the occasional levity of it did make me take pause and be like: wait, this really happened? It was almost narrated too 'plainly' at times, if that makes any sense...
This isn't to say that Tori wasn't taking the stories seriously or disrespecting the victims. Far from it. In fact, I really appreciated the discussion around the perceptions and double standards surrounding criminals who are women.
