Katherine Knight was a trip from the start of the book to the end. It’s rare to read about female serial killers, but Knight certainly had the mentality for it. For everything that she did, from the bar fights to killing her husband to attempting to kill her child, I was surprised that she didn’t spend much longer in a mental institute. It seemed as if she had a lot wrong with her brain, especially when it came to her anger and impulse control. The thought that she tried to feed kids their father is especially haunting.
More haunting to realize that there are other people like her who are out in the world somewhere. Absolutely chilling how cold some humans can be. Possibly even worse to consider the fact that Katherine felt as if her actions were justified. People get caught in the stigma that men are the perpetrators of domestic violence, but Katherine Knight was a shining example that women can be violent toward their partners too.
Narration was smooth and accompanied the material well as always.

Maybe 1.5 stars.Â
Misleading! Right on the cover cannibal killer… but she wasn’t. Like sure she did horrible things & had intended for someone else to eat what she cooked but she never actually ate him.Â
Disappointed by reading this, usually true crime has some sort of extras… but no you get some history. Some details. Some odd sexual scenes and then it’s done.Â
I could have googled it vs bought the book & i probably would have had a better time.Â
Cool cover though, give ya that.

A book about Katherine Knight's mental health and everything that led up to her final crime. Either the ending was rushed or there's a second book about the actual trial and aftermath of her actions.
