subtitle: How and Why Women Get Away with Murder.
I'm really loving this book eventhough it's a bit depressing. It's about female murders, everything from angels of death (baby killers and nurses) to psycopaths and team murders. It's more of a sociological point of view that looks at statistic, a few key cases, and society's attitudes towards women. I just finished the chapter on women's prison. The story of Canada's female prison and the riot there was interesting. I'm gonna buy this book when I get the chance.
As for fiction, I'm trying to read Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh.
