True crime; Forensic science

A murder at the hands of a mother is a heartbreaking deviation and a crime against nature! How can a mother commit such an appalling crime? How can she end the lives of the innocents she so recently bore and nurtured?

A mother is supposed to be loving, protective, caring, and kind. She's supposed to nurture and guide her children from infancy into childhood and adolescence. The very thought of murdering a child-much less their own child-is not only bizarre but perhaps the most disturbing thought a parent could have! Exploring the ultimate betrayal of a mother's duty, Killer Moms: True Stories recounts 31 harrowing tales of motherhood gone wrong, including ...

Rachel David

, who believed she was married to God

Andrea Yates

, who systemically executed each of her five children by drowning them

Magda Goebbels

, one of the most powerful women in Nazi Germany, the propaganda minister's wife and a Hitler favorite

The ambiguous Casey Anthony case, whose acquittal shocked the public

Melissa Drexler

, aka ""The Prom Mom,"" who hid her pregnancy from everyone

Rosemary West

, one of England's most notorious serial killers

Lindsey Nicole Blansett

, whose solution to ensuring her children wouldn't suffer in the future was to make sure they did not have a future

Nannie Doss

, the ""Giggling Granny,"" who managed to murder four generations of her family in a killing spree that lasted 30 years

Angela Camacho

, who helped her husband murder her three young children because he believed they were possessed by witches.

An unflinching look into humanity's dark side, Killer Moms is an unnerving read that delves into the twisted paths, the chilling motives, and the devastating consequences of maternal malice!
