A superb collection of true-crime stories--written by the magazine''s legendary feature writer, Skip Hollandsworth--which 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. Texas born and bred, 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 the favorite stories he has written for the magazine, from the tale of the high schooler who grew so close to dear old Dad that she had "no choice" but to poison his refried beans, to the suburban dentist who killed her loving husband by driving over him three times with his teenage daughter in the car. 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 jaw-dropping, addictively readable compendium of the evil that women do. And why.
