Christopher Berry-Dee turns his uncompromising gaze upon women who not only kill, but kill repeatedly. Because female murderers, and especially serial murderers, are so rare compared with their male counterparts, this new study will surprise as well as shock, particularly in the cases of women like Beverley Allitt, who kill children, and Janie Lou Gibbs, who killed her three sons and a grandson, as well as her husband. Here too are women who kill under the influence of their male partners, such as Myra Hindley and Rosemary West, and whose lack of remorse for their actions is nothing short of chilling. But the author also turns his forensic gaze on female killers who were themselves victims, like Aileen Wuornos, whose killing spree, for which she was executed, can be traced directly to her treatment at the hands of men.… (meer)

The book is about female murderers, some are serial killers, some aspects of the book are interesting to read but I think that the author has a biased/sexist opinion and they think in of women and what they are really capable of.
Everyone always disregards, underestimates what women are capable of in various ways which pisses me off as a woman.
This book is proof of acts of incredible cruelty, sadism, sexual sadism that some women are capable of.
With everyone good thing a woman is capable of curse are also capable of unflinching and unspeakable evil acts and not think twice about doing it again and again.
Like the joker from the barman universe said, "some people just want to watch the world burn" said

Unfortunately this book is taking me a long time to read due to be overly detailed trivial information added that no one asked for, just get to the point already! The only reason I chose to read this book is because all I wanted to know we're the facts, such as: who thee female murderers are, why they felt they were justified to kill one of more people, what drove them to kill, why and how they were caught, if they confessed at all, when they were convicted of murder in court.
I don't need to read about insignificant details that have nothing to do with the murderer or the victims of the crimes, just report the facts, in a interesting, informative way, instead of going off on a tangent just because you like to world on and on and trivial things.
This book is starting to test my patience.
I don't know who all the female serial killers, murderers are that are mentioned in the book, so a image of them would have been helpful.
I am not a fan of the has a fitting style, going of on a irrelevant tangent a lot, or adding unnecessary details that don't specifically relate to the murderers directly, but somewhat indirectly sometimes, so it makes reading this book a full slot to get to the point of each separate chapter about different people.
There are many better and more interesting a detailed books about male/female serial killers that are worth read about, such as mindhunter. Now I have finished reading this book, I did find it it interesting and sometimes disturbing to read, I'm not really a fan of the writer's style of writing but I would recommend the other books the author has written as well as this book if you like reading true crime books.
I would warn people however that if you don't have a strong stomach, or are squeamish about blood, and the gory details relates to real life murder investigations, then these types of books are not for you, for everyone else that can stomach all the gory details however you would find it interesting like I do.
