Scroll up to grab a copy of Deadly Women Volume 6. Book Series by Robert Keller Most of my works cover serial killers, while the “Murder Most Vile” series covers individual true crime stories. These are the main collections; Robert Keller’s True Crime eBook
The 18 women featured in this volume are truly evil.
Granted, some of them were insane, believing they were obeying God when they were following the commands of Satan. But their crimes were purely evil.
These are women who killed their spouses, their lovers, their children, sometimes for love, other times for money. Although they were all caught and convicted (or they wouldn't be in this book), some of them paid a very small price. Some who should have lived out their lives behind bars have been paroled. One mother shot and killed her four sons to spite her ex-husband.
My thanks to Mr. Keller for another great volume of true crime.
This sixth book in the Deadly Women series is excellent. Once again, Keller gives you enough information to fully understand the dynamics of each case. Some of the women are just seriously deranged while others faced inner demons that compelled them to strike out. There is even one story that is just pitiful.
I must admit as always I am amazed at the work Mr. Keller does. Any new book that comes out I always get even if it's a story I am familiar with. And that says a lot as I get so tired of reading about the same stuff over and over. The difference with his work is I always learn something new. So once again thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us!!! Keep up the great work and can't wait for your next book!!
Robert Keller's quick read true crime anthologies are always a treat. I also enjoy his "Murder Most Vile" series. When I am between full length books I always pick up his newest and he never disappoints. The stories cover time and space and are often about very obscure cases. May I recommend reading a full length book about Laurie Danns' last rampage that is condensed here. Excellent writing. Never disappoints.
An editor is needed. I appreciate the various recounts. However, the wrong use of names or changes (such as Oakes becoming Oates) is bothersome. It makes me wonder what else might not be factual.
