Talking with Female Serial Killers: A chilling study of the most evil women in the world by Christopher Berry-Dee

2.0

dark slow-paced

---

The concept and basic info were really interesting but Christopher talks about himself almost as much as the people he writes about. I'd be interested to know how many times he says "I," "me," or "my" (including all the plugs for his "best-selling book" or "interview that prompted the documentary." Could have done without the blatant fatphobia and slutshaming too. Don't even get me started on the "bi-sexual with a 99.9% preference for women."

Also the book could use a further copy edit. Not EVERY murder needs to be compared to Stephen King. Learn another horror writer at least if you're going to make so many banal comparisons. Also, several of the women mentioned only actually killed one person so don't really fit the brief.
