A good choice is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. Although the main character is male, it shows the extreme violence and detachment from reality that could be applied to a female serial killer concept in fiction. Also, 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' by Patricia Highsmith features Tom Ripley, who is male but has a very amoral and manipulative nature. This can be related to the idea of a female serial killer as it shows how someone can be so calculating and dangerous in a fictional world. There are also many noir - style detective novels where female killers are sometimes a sub - plot, like in some of Raymond Chandler's works.
One great book is 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. It features a complex female character with some very disturbing and manipulative tendencies that border on serial - killer - like behavior in terms of her psychological warfare against her husband. Another is 'Sharp Objects' also by Flynn, where the main character uncovers the dark secrets of her small town, and there are female characters with some seriously twisted motives. And 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' has Lisbeth Salander, a complex and somewhat vengeful character who has her own brand of justice, which could be related to the idea of a female serial killer in a more abstract way.
You might like 'My Sister, the Serial Killer' by Oyinkan Braithwaite. This novel is set in Lagos, Nigeria, and it tells the story of a woman who has to deal with her sister's penchant for killing boyfriends. It's a darkly humorous take on the idea of a female serial killer. Then there's 'The Silence of the Lambs' which, while the main serial killer is male, Clarice Starling is a strong female character, and the book delves into the minds of killers, which can give you an idea about how a female serial killer's mind could work in a fictional context.
