onyxspider 's review for:
Lady Killers
by Tori Telfer
This book had a lot of fun content to it and had lots of female murderers I was not familiar with but it also really felt jumbled up in no particular order.
There was no "order of events" to the stories and they would jump from the 1600's-1720's to the 1950's to 1891 to the 1680's again then to the early 1900's...
For a title that includes "Throughout History" I expected a bit of a linear timeline.
These stories were from around the world, and I enjoyed that, but the order of these stories felt like she drew them from a hat and that's the order she went with. Since the women were from all over the world, she could have avoided location duplication had she have written in a linear timeline so it made no sense as to why she did not do so.
Not a bad book by any means, but it hurt my head because I wanted some sort of structure and there simply was none.
