Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History by Tori Telfer

3.0

This was okay. Most of the chapters I thought were pretty well done. There couldn't be much depth to the women because most of them have been dead for hundreds of years. There was very little from the women themselves because most of them didn't leave anything in their own writing. Mostly we get observations from the press at the time or court records. I thought the author did a good job of exploring the culture and time period that women lived in and speculating on the effects those would've had on the lady killers. This was good to pick up and read a chapter or two at a time. It was too repetitive and shallow to binge read, however.
