Mothers Who Kill: True Crime Stories

Sixteen documented cases. Forty-seven years. One question that never gets easier:

What drives a mother to kill?

In this rigorously reported true crime collection, Javier Soto examines the legal records, news coverage, and forensic context behind some of the most discussed maternal homicide cases in the United States. From postpartum psychosis and delusion to revenge, neglect, coercion, and catastrophic system failure, each chapter shows how the facts, not sensationalism, should lead the story.

Documented case-by-case narratives built from verifiable public sourcesProfiles that keep the victims visible and the language restrainedClear explanations of the psychiatric and legal issues in each caseContext on child protection, criminal procedure, and forensic medicineA broader view of how family, medicine, and justice can fail at once
