Deadly Women

cover image of Deadly Women

Murder most foul is at the heart of the Discovery Channel’s chilling biographical series that dramatizes the lives of several of the most terrifying murderesses of the last four hundred years. Beginning in the 1500’s with Countess Elizabeth Bathory, often referred to as Countess Dracula, the stories of history’s infamous evil-doers are reenacted and then analyzed by a respected forensic pathologist. Other criminologists and behavior experts give their insights into the forces and motivations that led these women to such monstrous ends.
