We like to think of women as nurturers, not murderers, but women do kill. 'Californias Deadliest Women' is the definitive guide to the murderesses of the Golden State, a horrifying compendium of women driven to kill by jealousy, greed, desperation, or their own inner demons. From Brynn Hartman, who killed her husband, comedian Phil Hartman, to chemist Larissa Shuster, who dissolved her husband in acid, to dominatrix Omaima Aree Nelson, who cooked and ate her husband, the 28 women profiled in 'Californias Deadliest Women' show that the fairer sex can be as eviland as deadlyas any man.
