That first day no one could have guessed, I'd think we even considered the idea of it being a female.

Catherine Flannagan & Margaret Higgins A remarkable cooperative was run by a group of women in Liverpool, England, in the 1880s. Everyone has probably heard of women banding together in difficult times, but you usually assume that this will be done in a friendly manner. Former police prosecutor Angela Preben fought crime in English courts for her entire career, but her favourite case was one that occurred before she was even born. A group of women who live together are creating a network, a murder syndicate. It's an investment in death. It was an easy plan: take out an ensurance policy on everyone in their immediate circle, then kill them, one by one. In reality, there were four women who were killing. Then there were five or six more people whose only worry is about their insurance. Their little fortune was made possible by the woman's shrewdness, which also completely upended the British insurance sector.

Bob Wells would be just one of the people whose lives the events of Kathryn night would forever alter. Something like horns growing out of her head or being restrained like Hannibal Lecter is what I would expect from someone who has done what Catherine has done. However, she had a fairly normal appearance. Journalist and author Peter would also be impacted. He was assigned to a story that his newspaper was unable to publish because editors decide which stories are appropriate for readers to read with breakfast in the morning. This particular story was deemed unsuitable because it was too horrific, but like many other stories about Catherine, he was drawn to it because he wanted to know if someone who could do what Catherine did was insane or not sentient. However, the court determined that Catherine was sane and could have been the person next door.

Michael got as close to a number of lethal women as he dared while writing his book Murder Most Rare. The false belief that there were none or only one female serial killer in the United States sparked my initial interest in these women. Which seemed unthinkable to me. I thus located almost a hundred from 1900, both domestically and abroad, and stopped there. Vera Renczi is the murderer who most intrigues him. I think she was the most unusual female serial killer I've ever encountered. She killed for years on end in her own home, controlled the environment in which she killed, and was obviously intelligent. She also had resources. The pretty but wild girl who was the daughter of a wealthy family turned out to be, to put it politely, one hell of an efficient serial killer.
