This was just a fun interesting read. I was enthralled with everything about this book and I really want to see more as soon as possible.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of The League of Lady Poisoners.

I was so excited my request was approved because I'm always eager to read anything related to female serial killers.

Hmm...that didn't come out right.

As I was saying, this was a well-researched and fascinating read about more than twenty-five accused women poisoners, exploring the circumstances and skill sets that led them to lives of crime.

Some of the women were familiar to me, having recently read a book about female serial killers, but others were not and I was glad to learn more.

I love the author's idea to organize the chapters based on the women's motives, and I did enjoy the poison primer about the origins uses, and deadly side effects used through history.

Another big plus: great illustrations!

A book about female poisoners throughout the years that explores their stories. It has a few pages at the front about poisonous plants and animals. I thought the plants section was helpful because most of the stories involved one of these (or the metals). The animals was not as relevant I thought but still a fun addition. Then the book splits up stories based on why the women were poisoning - professional, romantic, political, etc. I thought this was a good way to break it up instead of just chronological! The illustrations within are also very beautiful.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
