If I do say so myself, these stories are REALLY INTERESTING! And a lot less bloody than my first book…though there is still blood.

BOOK 1:

This is my book about real, often-forgotten, pre-1950s female serial killers.

In it, you will learn that many, many unsuspecting husbands die of arsenic poisoning, that your narcissistic boss is nowhere near as bad as a narcissistic boss who also murders employees indiscriminately in 18th century Russia, and that you should never trust a killer named Elizabeth.

“Her work is bracingly non-stuffy, with a tone similar to that of Mary Roach's Stiff. Lady Killers most definitely entertains." —NPR

“Expect big things to come from this immensely talented rookie storyteller.” —NYT bestselling author M. William Phelps

“Given its dark subject matter, it’s surprisingly lively. A welcome addition to serial-killer literature.” — Booklist
