Killers in Heels: Stories of 50 women who were serial killers

By April Scarborough

The women no one wants to talk about. The stories no one wants to believe are true.

What drives a woman to kill? Survival? Revenge? Madness?
Sometimes it's all of it-and more.

I've lived violence. I've survived abuse, trafficking, addiction, and more. My family's blood runs deep with pain-murder, shootings, executions, and suicides. I know what darkness looks like. And I'm not afraid to face it.

In Killers in Heels, I pull back the curtain on women who kill-women society wants to bury, silence, and forget. These aren't just monsters or victims. They're messy. Raw. Human.

With each case, I included an afterthought-a reflection at the end of the story. Sometimes I focused on the mental health disorders these women faced. Other times, it was about how society viewed them: why women who kill are judged differently than men, or what could've been done to stop the cycle before it started.

I wrote this book in a way that many writers shy away from - but it is what readers have been asking for. Instead of cold, clinical facts, I brought in soul. Dark, messy, and real-just like the women I wrote about. Just like us.

Backed by my background in criminal justice and psychology, I dig into the mental, emotional, and societal layers of each story-not to excuse these women, but to understand them. To understand us.

This book isn't for the faint of heart. It's for those willing to face the truth, no matter how ugly it is.

If you're ready to walk the darkest paths, get your copy today. But be warned: once you see the truth, you can't unsee it.
