Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History by Tori Telfer

4.0

I typically don't like true crime anthologies that much because I already know all the cases. I really enjoyed this one and I had only heard of a few of the cases. There is a lot of poisoning going on in this book since that is how a lot of ladies like to kill, but there is some torture and very gruesome murders as well. These cases take place mostly in the 1800s with a couple in the 1700s and 1900s. There were some very interesting cases here and I enjoyed learning about some new ones. These women were ruthless in both how and who they killed. Some of them killed for money and some of them killed seemingly just for fun.

I recommend this to anyone who likes true crime anthologies or learning about lesser-known female serial killers.
