Friday is here! The race is on to find the secret of the Middle House. The fifth eagerly awaited installment in Garth Nix's best selling fantasy series, The Keys to the Kingdom.

Amid all this trouble, Arthur's mother is also missing, & he must weigh up an offer from Lady Friday that is either a cunning trap for the Rightful Heir or a golden opportunity he must seize -- before Superior Saturday or the Piper beats him to it. ...

The narrative were comfortable with is the one where women are the victims of violent crime, not the perpetrators. In fact, serial killers are thought to be so universally, overwhelmingly male that in 1998, FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood infamously declared in a homicide conference, There are no female serial killers.

Lady Killers, based on the popular online series that appeared on Jezebel & The Hairpin, disputes that claim & offers fourteen gruesome examples as evidence.
