Books like Mother's day by Dennis McDougal

A true‑crime account of the woman whose obsessive‑compulsive struggles culminated in a 1988 shooting at Hubbard Woods Elementary School, killing eight children and leaving a trail of violence toward her family and friends.

Blanche Taylor Moore, a nun‑like figure in small North Carolina towns, secretly fed her lovers a fatal poison while nursing them to the brink of death, as revealed by detective work and a groundbreaking trial.

Michelle Oberman and Cheryl L. Meyer don’t write for news magazines or prime-time investigative television shows, but the stories they tell hold the same fascination. When Mothers Kill is compelling. In a clear, direct fashion the authors recount what they have learned from interviewing women imprisoned for killing their children. Readers will be shocked and outraged—as much by the violence the women have endured in their own lives as by the violence they engaged in—but they will also be informed and even enlightened. Oberman and Meyer are leading authorities on their subject. Their 2001 book, Mothers Who Kill Their Children, drew from hundreds of newspaper articles as well as from medical and social science journals to propose a comprehensive typology of maternal filicide. In that same year, driven by a desire to test their typology—and to better understand child-killing women not just as types but as individuals—Oberman and Meyer began interviewing women who had been incarcerated for the crime. After conducting lengthy, face-to-face interviews with forty prison inmates, they returned and selected eight women to speak with at even greater length. This new book begins with these stories, recounted in the matter-of-fact words of the inmates themselves. There are collective themes that emerge from these individual accounts, including histories of relentless interpersonal violence, troubled relationships with parents (particularly with mothers), twisted notions of romantic love, and deep conflicts about motherhood. These themes structure the books overall narrative, which also includes an insightful examination of the social and institutional systems that have failed these women. Neither the mothers nor the authors offer these stories as excuses for these crimes.

A comprehensive guide to the most notorious criminals and their crimes, organized into four categories: partners in crime, evil women, murderous men, and war crimes.

A heartfelt romance where past loves and family ties collide, as Jessica and Evan find themselves drawn into a complex love triangle involving emotions, second chances, and blue‑blood vs blue‑collar dynamics.
