About this listen

When we hear about a serial killer, we never consider the sex; we would immediately assume a man...right? But that's not always the case! Females are for the most part, the loving and caring protectors of our species and the ones that are more susceptible to danger. However, they are in fact the most dangerous because they are the least suspected of the serial killers. Like their male counterparts, they show no remorse and have no mercy for their victims. Should we still call them the weaker sex?

Women Who Kill explains and defines the various types of female serial iillers and contains over 20 criminal dossiers, including:

  • Gertrude Baniszewski
  • Margie Barfield
  • Martha Beck
  • Lizzie Borden
  • Judias Buenoano
  • Christine Falling
  • Caril Ann Fugate and Charles Starkweather (Couple)
  • Delfina and Maria de Jesus Gonzalez (Sisters)
  • Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo (Wife and Husband)
  • Dorothea Puente
  • Marybeth Tinning
  • Rosemary and Fred West (Wife and Husband)

Critic reviews

" Women Who Kill is a journey into the minds of female serial killers - their motives, their acts, their thought process. Parker gives an overview and then delves into various stories about individual killers. I found myself horrified but also completely captivated." (Best-selling author Michele Scott)
"If you're looking for some gruesome, real-life stories of deadly women, look no further. Parker has collected, and documented, tales of murder and mayhem from the, uh, fairer sex. Hard to believe some people can do such heinous acts. A mind-boggling collection." (Alan Orloff)

At first I was just disappointed by the lack of depth or any analysis of the cases. When the author called his readers to arms to protest a release of a woman it was clear to me this is not a cerebral exercise but an exercise in woman hating (which was noticeable by use of adjectives throughout the book). To be clear, it’s a good thing that someone tried to create an anthology but cannot understand why anyone would do so without any analysis of why the perpetrators did what they did. And then I realised it was to rally incels against women, which is a pity but surely good for profit
