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

by Clarkson

Investigative reporter Wensley Clarkson has spent years researching the most extreme and intriguing cases of women who commit murder, and this gripping collection brings together 20 of his most thrilling true stories. These are the tales of women who challenge our idea of what many still, mistakenly, often think of as the weaker sex. Their characters and backgrounds are as diverse as they are deadly, and their crimes are every bit as shocking as those of of their male counterparts. From the case of the beautiful Diana Perry, who suffered years of abuse at the hands of her husband before taking the matter into her own hands; to Bobby, a woman whose gruesome interest in blood led to one of the most horrific seduction killings ever seen.

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
