Publisher's Synopsis

Cunning, sadistic and deadly - the world's most notorious lady killers are brought together in this shocking true crime compendium

What drives women to kill? Is it love, power, revenge? There is something both disturbing and fascinating about female murderers - how those perceived as the "gentler" sex can commit such atrocities. In truth, women have been the perpetrators of many violent crimes throughout history, and this book uncovers the lethal instincts of lady killers.

Filled with shocking true stories of female murderers across the globe, this anthology details their motives, crimes and victims and delves into the psychology of the killers' minds. Cases span from poisonings to strangulations and shootings to stabbings, each crime a display of the cruelty of infamous femme fatales.

Whatever their motive - be it a crime of passion or an act of vengeance - this true crime compendium covers the heinous acts of the most monstrous women in the world. Whether you're a true crime follower or simply curious, let the stories of these lady killers satiate your appetite for the macabre.
