Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned: True Stories of Women Who Kill

by Wensley Clarkson

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.

Interesting set of short stories about killer women

[Deanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some of these stories do seem motivated by rage, but some seem to be clear cases of self defense. There are other cases that don't fall into either catergory.
Whilst they were interesting did find the author's need to describe how the killers and victims thought irritating, I prefer facts not conjecture.

[Lindsay · Rating 4 out of 5]

Embellished real life stories given more zing to make it more gory and palatable but spelling errors throughout I wonder if an editor has been through this book at all.
Interesting takes on the lives of women and the abuse most suffer until they snap.

This book was a bit scary because all the stores are true! I did not give this a 5 Star because some of the stories did not have as much detail as others and the ending was rushed.

[Darlene Jilks · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read about women who get revenge on men and other women who do them wrong-some stories are pretty brutal but a good read.

I'd Read About A Lot Of These Before But I Feel The Author Filled In Gaps That Weren't Necessary. Still An Interesting Read
