_dosia_ 's review for:
Talking with Female Serial Killers: A Chilling Study of the Most Evil Women in the World
by Christopher Berry-Dee
When I started to read this I was intrigued and the opening in the Russian women's prison was captivating, but as the book went on it just became so boring, nonsensical and pompous.
Christopher has a very irritating 'holier-than-thou' narrative voice that's extremely grating, and instead of speaking about some of the worst women in history (like Myra Hyndley), he instead dedicates dull chapters to women who kill their husbands for money, and don't even qualify as serial killers. Sprinkled among this are sexist descriptions of women's appearances (and he always mentions if they're anything but white for some reason?), which are a real treat. It's just a compilation of boring and sexist wikipedia inserts of some random crimes connected only by the perpetrator being a woman.
