Christopher Berry-Dee's new study examines female murderers, particularly serial murderers, who are rare compared to their male counterparts. It includes cases of women who kill children, kill their own families, and kill under the influence of their male partners. It also explores the lack of remorse for their actions and the role of male violence in their lives.

Christopher Berry-Dee, a criminologist and bestselling author of books about the serial killers Aileen Wuornos and Joanne Dennehy, turns his uncompromising gaze upon women who not only kill, but kill repeatedly. This new study will surprise and shock, particularly in the cases of women like Beverley Allitt, who kill children, and Janie Lou Gibbs, who killed her three sons and a grandson, as well as her husband. Here too are women who kill under the influence of their male partners, such as Myra Hindley and Rosemary West, and whose lack of remorse for their actions is nothing short of chilling. But the author also turns his forensic gaze on female killers who were themselves victims, like Aileen Wuornos, whose killing spree, for which she was executed, can be traced directly to her treatment at the hands of men.

Christopher Berry-Dee has no equal as the author of hard-hitting studies of the killers who often walk among us undetected for many years and who in so many cases seem to be acting entirely against their natures.
