Another historical fiction based on true crime in America. I have enjoyed this series a lot. This one I found a little heavier on the details of the crimes than in books past.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of the book and the opportunity to post an honest review!

I have read all the books in this true crime series to date. This is the second one where I familiar with the details. The author does a great job weaving the bone chilling tale of one evil woman into a read that will keep you turning the pages. The deaths and suffering caused by Belle Gunness is almost unbelievable. And yet, even the most evil can dupe so many around them. Personally, I can’t see her committing suicide and always believed she escaped her own fire and continued her evil ways, but it can’t be proved one way or the other.

This is the kind of book that leaves you wanting more. Another hit in the true crimes series. This one also had me looking into the real story more which is the hallmark of a good book. This book was interesting and kept me fully engaged. I spent my morning reading it. and it was time well spent.

There is so much I want to say about this book but that contains spoilers and this book is better read without them. I did get it for free in exchange for an honest review, but I would have paid to read it had I not as I have also really enjoyed the authors previous books in this series. I liked how the author threw in a few little redirects so that you were never quite sure of what was the true story.

My overall recommendation is to read this book and the rest of the True Crimes series. You're welcome!
