It's discomforting to read these sorts of books. They are the stories of women who have murdered and whilst some of these women were undoubtedly guilty, the tales of the desperate, the poor, abused and betrayed make it hard not to look rather critically at society "norms" and behaviours. Perhaps that's what's important about these sorts of books.

Read this in one sitting last night - had borrowed this from the library first before I went out and purchased. Glad I did. Not happy with the inclusion of Lola Montez and an Aussie just because she spent some time here. A few familiar names and a few names I was not familiar.

Book was boring. With facts laid straight out and no real story telling.
