Hell in High Heels – C.H. Burford

They say that what men can do women can do better. The author C.H. Burford in the book “ Hell in High Heels” has unleashed on us, women who left behind a trail of deceit, forgery, mass murder, misappropriation of money, torture, and misuse of power. The list goes on. These women made a name for themselves albeit for the wrong reasons stunned the world with their nefarious activities. We have usually heard or read over the eons what the male species of humans can do. The author of this book has startled the readers with the narration of what women can do. These women outdid the men. And beyond comprehension. Their activities were blatant, and outrageous, and dared society to stop them. The point to ponder is not all these women came from broken homes or abusive backgrounds. Is it true then that we make our circumstances or is it the other way around? The histories of these women suggest a grey. There is always a trigger somewhere, though.

The tenor and tone of C. H. Burford in narration are spot on. The profanity and cuss words do justice to the genre of facts. This work would not have been half as good if the author had been prudent about the vocabulary used.

I will recommend this book to readers who love to delve into the history that largely has been ignored by historians. For all the wrong reasons, women outdid men when it came to achieving their goals. I wonder how many women in societies in the world slipped the radar and got away with murder. I will congratulate the author for the meticulous research. I hope to be startled by your next book.
