We like to think of women as nurturers, not murderers, but women do kill.California???s Deadliest Womenis the definitive guide to the murderesses of the Golden State, a horrifying compendium of women driven to kill by jealousy, greed, desperation, or their own inner demons. From Brynn Hartman, who killed her husband, comedian Phil Hartman, to chemist Larissa Shuster, who dissolved her husband in acid, to dominatrix Omaima Aree Nelson, who cooked and ate her husband, the 28 women profiled inCalifornia???s Deadliest Womenshow that the fairer sex can be as evil???and as deadly???as any man. Kulczyk spills a goodly amount of literary blood, with noir-ish descriptions leading up to the carnage. Read it in small segments, taking time to savor each act of depravity. Don't read this with someone you love. You don't want them to get ideas, do you? ???Terrance McArthur,Kings River LifeTeenage Satan Worshiper???February 2, 1981, SacramentoWhat???s a Girl To Do????January 6, 1953, SacramentoThe Doctor???s Wife Part I???October 4, 1945, San FranciscoThe Evil Twin???March 19, 1950, FresnoOne Mean Swede???April 30, 1981.
