Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewGot 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 of revenge * 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. Based on the real life adventures of serial killer Belle Gunness, this book is a dark, thrilling ride into a world of revenge. Oh so satisfying. -- Julie Owen Moylan * - *
Triflers Need Not Apply is 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 *
Clever and pacy . . . To think of [Bella] only as a cruel murderer is too two-dimensional and doesn't do her, or Camilla's writing, justice * Belfast Telegraph *
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 *
