A review by breevee
Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History by Tori Telfer

3.0

Unapologetically sensational and often taking on the more speculative tone of tabloid articles and armchair psychology, Telfer doesn't take herself too seriously in this book. She does however take pains to give us a broad range of subjects both in nationality and social status, and contextualizes their lives and crimes in their own era, as well as the treatment of their legacies and perceptions of female killers in general today. Morbidly fascinating but not for the faint of heart, I think this book will please true crime fans and those who enjoy the macabre.
