“Even the most psychopathic woman can realize, when staring death in the eyes, that what she valued, in the end, was life all along.”

This is the last line of this fantastic collection of stories about a subject that isn’t nearly covered enough in true crime: female serial killers. These 14 profiles span over six centuries of violence, each story more intriguing and gory than the next. I took my time indulging this collection, as the author has a unique writing voice that kept me engaged but allowed me to savor the stories. About to place this book back on my bookshelf and grabbing Telfer’s Confidence Women right now - a collection of tell-alls about female scammers and con artists. So yummy!
