Résumé

"I love Skip Hollandsworth. I love his extraordinary stories, I love his rabid curiosity, and I love that as a writer, he personifies toeing the line between horror, humor, and absurdity. I am inspired by every single character he has introduced us to. "-Laura DernA superb collection of true-crime stories-written by Texas Monthly's legendary feature writer Skip Hollandsworth-that reminds us why America is perennially obsessed with the genre.
Skip Hollandsworth has been covering true crime since long before the podcasts, networks, and television shows discovered it. Raised in Texas, the revered journalist joined Texas Monthly in 1989, and the stories he has written over three-plus decades have helped define a locale and a culture. Curated by Hollandsworth, She Kills brings together beloved stories that focus in particular on female perpetrators-from the high schooler who was so desperate to move back in with Mom that she had no choice but to poison her father's refried beans, to the wallflower nurse in small-town Texas who one day started killing off her patients, to the lovelorn dental hygienist who ordered a hit on her rival.
These are expertly crafted tales that will stop readers in their tracks and leave them gasping with shock and pleasure. Each story is updated by Hollandsworth, who provides background on his original storytelling and new information on the perpetrators and victims, where available. She Kills is a jaw-dropping, addictively readable compendium of women whose often sensational crimes and circumstances put them on the wrong side of the law. She Kills is illustrated with 44 black-and-white photos throughout.
This stunning collection of investigative journalism explores the chilling side of human nature: Female Criminals: Meet the wallflower nurse who started killing her patients, the high schooler who poisoned her father's refried beans, and the socialite accused of murdering her millionaire husband. Masterful Storytelling: From legendary Texas Monthly writer Skip Hollandsworth, whose rabid curiosity and empathetic eye for detail bring these complex women and their chilling stories to life.
Small-Town Secrets: Uncover the desperation and resentment that can well up in two-stoplight towns, where a trip to the Dairy Queen can be the prelude to murder. Updated Cases: Each story is updated by Hollandsworth, providing new information on the perpetrators and victims and offering a modern perspective on these classic tales. Illustrated Edition: Featuring 44 black-and-white photographs that provide a haunting, visual dimension to these unforgettable stories of crime and consequence.
