About this title

Synopsis

They weren’t monsters in the shadows... They were mothers, wives, daughters, and friends. And yet, behind the masks of the familiar, they committed crimes that defy understanding.

Femmes Fatales is a curated collection of true crime stories exploring the chilling realities of women who kill. Across three volumes — brought together here for the first time — this box set dives deep into some of history’s most fascinating and disturbing cases. From quiet poisonings to brutal murders, cold conspiracies to frenzied spree killings, these stories challenge everything we think we know about gender, motive, and violence.

Drawn from the Evidence Locker podcast, each case has been carefully researched and retold in written form for readers who prefer to linger over the details. I started with this collection not just because the crimes are unforgettable, but because the contrast is so stark. We’re taught to see women as nurturers, as caregivers… yet some of the most disturbing killers are those we least expect.

Inside, you’ll find infamous names and obscure horrors alike:

• A woman who killed for love — or revenge
• A teenage daughter who plotted her parents’ murder
• A bandit queen turned folk hero
• A matriarch of a narco-cult
• A vampire countess bathing in blood

These stories span centuries and continents, united by one haunting question: What drives someone - especially someone society sees as soft or vulnerable - to kill?

Whether you’re a lifelong true crime reader or a curious newcomer, this collection invites you to read between the headlines… and into the minds of the world’s most deadly women.
