Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History by Tori Telfer
3.0
Author: Tori Telfer
Narrator: Jamie Lamchick

Finished: March 12, 2023=4
Format: Digital
Genre: True Crime
Serial killers have always been men, haven't they? Women are usually the victims of violent crime but according to one FBI profiler there are no female serial killers...but he's wrong. This book covers the stories of several female serial killers from the past and offers insight into how female serial killers kill.
A book about a female serial killer other than Aileen Wournos is rare so I thought this would be something interesting.. While the author tries to make every story seem interesting and new - all of the stories chosen seem the same. The majority of the killers did away with their victims by poisoning - a female way of killing evidently. She does give voice to the fact that female killers are seen through a sexual lens as opposed to a violent one which is a grave mistake - females can be psychopaths just like men. The narration was wonderfully done and added to the enjoyment of the book, I just wish the book had more substance to it.
