I am recommending the book Murder Most Rare: The Female Serial Killer by Michael D. Kelleher and C.L. Kelleher.
When we think of the term 'serial killer' many of us would assume we're speaking of a male, the rest of us are probably thinking of a homicidal Captain Crunch. Unfortunately, even in today's day and age some people still find it incredibly hard to believe that women have violent tendencies and have the capability to murder (see Jody Arias). I think this book sheds a lot of light on that topic.
This book talks about various female serial killers. I like how this book puts a lot of emphasis on the "why" of their crimes. It really give a lot of insight to what they were actually thinking.
This book was very informative overall and definatly had some high points as far as entertainment goes. My only critique would be that the stories occaisionally got rather mundane and uninteresting.
I would definitely recommend this book to crime fans (CSI nerds unite!) and maybe even those interested in the hardcore horror/mystery genre (think real life Clue!). Although I wouldn't reccomend this book to someone that finds themselves becoming bored with long mysteries, this book would please the most in-depth crime
fighters!
