About the book:

The fair sex. We’ve often heard this clichéd expression being used to refer to women. When it comes to murder, however, that notion gets turned on its head. Although it’s not uncommon for women to get rid of an annoying partner or a perceived rival, some have no qualms about ratcheting things up to the next level.

Women Who Kill will be a standalone anthology, a “best of” compilation for the modern reader of true crime, featuring real crime stories gathered from writers around the world, with content covering multiple geographical locations and time frames. Included here are stories the editor has carefully curated from various publications along with a handful of suitably themed stories from earlier volumes of The Best New True Crime Stories series, including:

Ruth Snyder: the Original Femme Fatale by Ciaran Conliffe

- Innocence Taken: The Murder of Karissa Boudreau by Mike Browne

- Women Fight Back by Tom Larsen

- On the Courthouse Steps: The Trial of Susan Smith by Cathy Pickens

- The Strange Case of Keli Lane by Anthony Ferguson

- Mahin: Monster or Victim by Mitzi Szereto

- Dead Woman Walking by Joan Renner

- Angelina Napolitano: “I Am Not a Bad Woman” by Ed Butts

In addition to the 15 contributed pieces, an editor’s introduction will be included as well as a forward from a guest author. Biographical information for the editor and contributors will also be included. The book can lead to future “best of” volumes under the subtitle “A Collection of True Crime Tales” covering a variety of themes.
