Women Who Kill: A Chilling Casebook of True-Life Murders

By Al Cimino

Book Overview

Charlotte Mulhall plunged a Stanley knife into the neck of her mother's lover, then she and her sister Linda finished him off with scissors. They were dubbed 'The Scissor Sisters'. After a quarrel over unwashed cups, 68-year-old Tamara Samsonova killed the woman she shared an apartment with. Investigators discovered a trail of clues that pointed to as many as 11 slayings by the 'Granny Ripper'. Slaughterhouse worker Katherine Knight stabbed her common law husband 37 times. Then she skinned his corpse, chopped off his head, and served up his buttocks garnished with vegetables for his children to eat. Murder is not an equal-opportunities activity. Only a small percentage of homicides and serious violent cromes are committed by women. But, it seems, when women do murder, they really go to town. Some murder their husbands or lovers. Or they kill children. Enriqueta Marti, the 'Vampire of Barcelon' murdered Children to make cosmetics. This grisly assortment of tales will have you on the edge of your seat. Book jacket.
