I finished this book in 2 sittings as I struggled to put it down.
I actually enjoyed the random pages talking about actual medical serial killers and found them fascinating and informative but can see why others may find them a little annoying.
It was nice to see a different take on drug addiction too. Seeing that it could affect anyone, even a high standing doctor.

Talking with Female Serial Killers: A chilling study of the most evil women in the world by Christopher Berry-Dee

I really wanted to enjoy this book as much as the other books I’ve read from this author. However the constant book plugging rather his other books rather than going into details of the women in the book really annoyed me. Also why have a picture of Myra Hindley on the front cover if you’re book doesn’t even talk about her?
Added to that the constant fat shaming of the women it’s a no for me.

I wasn’t sure id enjoy this as I struggled with the other novellas. However I really did get into it and managed to read it in one sitting. Definitely darker than usual which I liked, it had a horror feel to it which is perfect for a rainy October read. It was fun getting to learn more about Kimberly too and the little phone call with Peter made me smile. I hope we get more stories set with Kimberly.
