Interesting cases but I wasn't in the right frame of mind for it.

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.

I recommend the audio book as it feels like a podcast with the different stories as different episodes.

The murder's are interesting but her conclusion is so lacking and so out of point, is basically a historical book rather whatever category people put this into.
Is so out of touch is the end and feels like a pointless reading.
