The characters and backgrounds of the women in this book are as diverse as they are deadly, and their crimes are every bit as gruesome as those carried out by their male counterparts. But what drives a woman to kill? Is there a common theme? Is it desperation, as in the case of the beautiful Diana Perry who suffered years of abuse at the hands of her husband before taking matters into her own hands? Or could it be pure evil, as in the case of Bobby, a woman whose interest in blood led her to lead a sect of like-minded women into one of the most horrific seduction killings ever seen? This book looks at the gripping tales of women who kill.
