Too short, too conversational, not enough connecting the women. Also who knew arsenic was so easy to get your hands on?? 
dark medium-paced

I really enjoyed this interesting and informative book about female serial killers. The stories were very diverse and it was always about a different time period, a different country and a different motive. It not getting a higher rating is entirely a 'me-thing': because I read it in almost one sitting it got a little boring and dry. But I would still highly recommend

while the book doesn’t shy away from how terrible and gruesome this crimes were, it also doesn’t pin these woman as “naturally evil” or “heartless witch” that is so commonly associated with lady killers. The author obviously tries to bring nuance and reason behind it all. When the line between man and monster gets crossed? When the line between woman and killer is not a line? But a path.
