The World's Most Lethal Ladies

Acts of murder committed by women are always perceived by the public as being far more disturbing than those carried out by their male counterparts. Women are often considered to be 'the fairer sex', and the majority are seen as being essentially caring and nurturing by nature. However, around fifteen percent of serial killers are known to be women; a shocking statistic Even more disturbing is the widely held belief that not all female serial killers will be caught and brought to justice; many are simply too smart, and are often overlooked by the authorities. This book will introduce you to some of the world's most notorious female killers. Many of the women featured in the book have committed unspeakable crimes, on a number of occasions. Included in the book is Myra Hindley, a young woman from the UK who, along with her controlling and abusive partner, Ian Brady, conducted a depraved killing spree in the early 1960's. The pair killed and tortured five young children, then buried their bodies on Saddleworth Moor near Manchester in the UK. The majority of female serial killers got away with their crimes for many years until they were finally arrested, leaving a trail of death and destruction behind them. Prepare to be shocked at the lengths some women will go to to satisfy their perverse desire to kill, torture and maim their innocent victims. This book will take you on a journey into the very depths of human depravity, and will lead you to question how reasonable the 'fairer sex' really is.
