As an introduction to female serial killers, this was very well done. I'm sure there is more to all the stories thta would warrant them entire books of their own (I think there is a book called The Angelmakers about the Nagyrev poisonings), but this book gives much depth and insight on the few pages reserved for each chapter. You can grab onto what interested you the most and dig deeper elsewhere! Great book.
