Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History by Tori Telfer

adventurous challenging dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

5.0

"How dangerous it is to be a powerful woman, depending on which academic paper you're reading. We don't quite have everything we need to charge her with her crimes. There are rumors of an incriminating diary lost somewhere in Hungary, and there are scholars who want to clear her name. With so many vanished centuries between her life and ours, we may never get definitive forensic proof of her guilt. And yet she certainly seems to find herself around a lot of blood." Never skip an Erzsebet Bathory chapter! 

And an entire chapter dedicated to the "Angel Makers of Nagyrev"? WHO KNEW.
