Christopher Berry-Dee, 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.
Because female murderers, and especially serial murderers, are so rare
compared with their male counterparts, this new study will surprise as
well as 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.
