Review Quotes: "Female serial killers are rare, and Nannie Doss is even more of an outlier, based on the number of her victims. Jerry Jamison provides a detailed and often sympathetic look at a lifelong murderer whose horrible upbringing surely contributed to her drive to inflict so many horrors on so many people." --Ed Palattella, co-author, "Mania and Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong: Inside the Mind of a Female Serial Killer"
