The newest series from Globe features regional history with a true crime twist!
Written by true crime author-experts, each book focuses on the most significant (and prolific) violent female criminals from that state or region. Female killers are often portrayed as caricatures: Black Widows, Angels of Death, or Femme Fatales. But the real stories of these women are much more complex. The author provides a look at the lives of at each killer through primary source materials, including diaries and trial records. Readers will be glued to their seats as they follow the killers through broken childhoods, first brushes with death, and overwhelming urges that propelled these women to commit these heinous crimes. The kidnappings, murders, investigations, trials, and ultimate verdicts will stun and surprise readers as they live vicariously through the killers and the dogged investigators who caught them.
Elizabeth Kerri Mahon is a native New Yorker and history geek. While other kids were reading Dr. Seuss, she would read history books for fun. But the more she studied history, the more she wanted to know about the women who made it. The result of her research is the blog Scandalous Women (scandalouswoman.blogspot.com), launched in the fall of 2007 to an audience eager to discover some of history’s most fascinating and flagrant women. The readership for the blog continues to grow with close to six million-page views to date. Her first book, SCANDALOUS WOMEN, was released in March 2011 to enthusiastic reviews.
