Serial Killers: Top 10 Most Famous Female Serial Killers

by Christopher Butler

When we hear the mention of the words, serial killers, most people imagine a huge, ugly man prying on people at night to kill them. However, not only men are serial killers, as this book will show, women can also be serial killers. While there are more male serial killers than women, there are also female serial killers, and since most people don’t think of women as dangerous, many people fall easily into their trap. But, what exactly drives women to become serial killers and why is it difficult to conjure the image of women being serial killers? What methods do female serial killers use to kill their victims and which weapons do female serial killers prefer? Who are their most target victims?

This book will discuss 10 famous serial killers and the interesting facts about their lives.

Terrible!! Some of these are not truly serial killers for instance Diane Downs only killed one. He could have changed the title to females who murdered. Not well written. I could not recommend!!

Informative

This book is OK as a very brief overview but it has far too many spelling mistakes and stupid errors to warrant a higher rating. An important date for one of the women discussed in the book is "31st November" and that is a prime example of something that should have been picked up by a simple proofread. Could have been much better. Disappointing, glad it was free.
