Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History by Tori Telfer

challenging dark emotional funny informative mysterious sad tense slow-paced

4.25

I appreciated the breadth and depth this book went into about female serial killers and that it took a more character/person and story based tactic. I think it helped humanize these women and show them as more than the evil caricatures that are so often portrayed. I also appreciated the humor throughout, it surprisingly blended well with the serious topics imo.
