Female Serial Killers: How and Why Women Become Monsters

How of us are even remotely prepared to imagine our mothers, daughters, sisters, or grandmothers as fiendish killers? For centuries we have been conditioned to think of serial murderers and psychopathic predators as men. Women have registered low on our collective paranoia radar. Perhaps that's why so many trusting husbands, lovers, friends, and children have fallen prey to "the female monster." In this fascinating book, Peter Vronsky exposes and investigates the phenomenon of women who kill - and the political, economic, social, and sexual implications buried with each victim.
