DescriptionKathy Braidhill - To Die For  Only 36 documented cases of female serial killers exist. Ordinarily they target their partners, children, or people under their care. They usually choose poison or guns for their weapon. Dana Sue Gray stands alone, targeting elderly women and choosing a violent means to effect murder. Dana sought excitement, much as she sought the thrills of windsurfing or skydiving, and then celebrated her kills with spending sprees. Kathy Braidhill's chilling account of Dana's behavior and possible motive leaves the reader stunned and appalled. An unemployed nurse, Dana Sue Gray murdered old women and then celebrated with their credit cards. Living with her partner Jim and his son Jason, Dan filled their home with clothing, toys, perfume and the like. I find it amazing that her partner didn't question where her money was coming from when he was the only one earning an income. In addition, I find it chilling that Dana would kill with a child waiting in the car parked in front of her victim's residence. Indeed, Dana's celebrations including not only shopping sprees, but a visit to a spa for a massage, manicure and pedicure, as well as expensive restaurant meals where she order more than she could possibly eat. TO DIE FOR doesn't read so much as a thriller as an explanation for this aberration. And perhaps one the most frustrating things about a book like this is that there are many questions left unanswered. One question the author didn't thoroughly address is how Dana Sue Gray makes the transition in her plea to guilty. While the author mentions the plea bargain, it would have been interesting to have more information, especially from an author that is so meticulous elsewhere. The remaining questions, however, are not so much the fault of the author as the nature of the book. Indeed, the author's meticulous details, explanations, and information provide fascinating reading.
