Summary
Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, as one judge described her, as "a coldly calculated criminal recidivist and serial killer." She had experienced a lifetime of murder, mayhem, and mental illness. She killed two boyfriends, including one whose body was stuffed in a freezer. And she was convicted in one of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's strangest cases: the Pizza Bomber case, in which a pizza deliveryman died when a bomb locked to his neck exploded after he robbed a bank in 2003 near Erie, Pennsylvania, Diehl-Armstrong's hometown.
Diehl-Armstrong's life unfolded in an enthralling portrait; a fascinating interplay between mental illness and the law. As a female serial killer, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong was in a rare category. In the early 1970s, she was a high-achieving graduate student pursuing a career in education but suffered from bipolar disorder. Before her death, she was sentenced to serve life plus 30 years in federal prison.

A very strange but interesting take on a famous serial killer
You're probably here because of the Netflix series. It is a very different thing.
It focuses on the psychological analysis of Marjorie and the ramifications of her mental health status on her many brushes with the law.
It also broadens its own scope by analysing the history of mental illness diagnosis and the evolving legal system trying to account for mental incompetence in crime.
I found it a bit random and rambling at first but it really all comes together in analysing the case and the debates over how culpable a truly disturbed woman is.
