When Women Kill: Four Crimes Retold by Alia Trabucco Zerán

2.0

This book's subtitle is "four crimes retold" but I felt like the retelling took a backseat. Instead, Zerán focuses on the media circus and portrayals of these women after their crimes. There is a strangely sympathetic air to her retellings, and I felt that the thesis of this book was overstated and repetitive. Not what I expected, and much less "true crime"-y than I would have liked.
