I appreciated the breadth and depth this book went into about female serial killers and that it took a more character/person and story based tactic. I think it helped humanize these women and show them as more than the evil caricatures that are so often portrayed. I also appreciated the humor throughout, it surprisingly blended well with the serious topics imo.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Misogyny, Sexism, Toxic relationship, Medical content, Grief, Medical trauma, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
