Creepy and compelling * The Times Crime Club *
A mixture of black humour and psychological insight * Sunday Times, 'Best Historical Fiction Books of 2023' *
Atmospheric and addictive * Crime Monthly *
This sinister novel is a pulse-pounding read * Woman's Own *
I was absolutely captivated by All the Blood We Share. The author brings the prairie so vividly to life that I felt I was there, living amongst brilliantly portrayed, scarily believable characters . . . Chilling, terrifying, utterly addictive, All the Blood We Share is a beautifully written, spellbinding read for 2023 -- Karen Coles, author of The Asylum
As disturbing as it is compelling, All The Blood We Share is a grisly triumph, and one that cements Bruce's reputation as a must-read author * Fantasy Hive *
Praise for Camilla Bruce * - *
Got me out of a reading slump! Dark glee, tragedy . . . fans of my story The Corset will gobble this up * Laura Purcell *
Dark, twisted and dangerously addictive * Sam Lloyd *
A brutal and compelling tale that starts as a revenge story but quickly becomes so much more. Clever, shocking and horrific in places, it's the sort of book for which the phrase 'page-turner' was invented * Lucie McKnight Hardy *
Come for the fabulous premise, stay for the razor-sharp portrait of a marvelously complex (and often totally terrifying) mind. I was a big fan of You Let Me In, but Camilla Bruce has absolutely outdone herself with Bella Sorensen and Triflers Need Not Apply * Laird Hunt *
Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story * Woman's Weekly *
Deliciously dark, wickedly observed with a protagonist who will haunt you in the best way. Utterly gripping, chillingly compelling - you won't read another story quite like Bella's * Miranda Dickinson *
Loved this fascinating tale of how a woman's pain turns to rage and then murder. A dark, thrilling ride into a world of revenge. Oh so satisfying * Julie Owen Moylan *
A perfect read for any crime fiction fan. A chilling immersion into the mind of a serial killer - dark, seductive and addictive. A truly gripping read * Lia Middleton *
Based on a true story, with dark humour throughout, you will be hooked * Prima *
Extraordinary. Bruce does a marvellous job of reimagining this real-life murderer, without excusing her crimes * The Times *
This gory fictionalisation of her story is also a great character study * Best *
Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story of revenge * Woman *
Chilling. Camilla Bruce's adept reimagining of this compelling historical figure is difficult to forget * Gazette and Herald *
You'll veer between pity and loathing for the main character, with perhaps a touch of horrified admiration at times * The Hunsbury Handbook *
