Overview

It is often thought that only men can be serial killers. But some women have been guilty of equally horrific crimes, committing brutal murder after brutal murder. From deadly serial killers seeking revenge on a world that wronged them to sadists who delighted in the pain of their victims and coldly calculating killers who planned out their every move, Evil Women examines some of the worst crimes committed by women.

This book features such horrifying cases as:
• Aileen Wuornos, who went on a rampage across Florida,
• Katherine Knight, who murdered her husband then served up his corpse for dinner
• Nannie Doss, the perpetual widow whose husbands kept dying in mysterious circumstances
• Kristen Gilbert, the nurse who killed the children left under her care.
