In The Garden of Spite by Camilla Bruce was a well written historical fiction telling about The Black Widow of La Porte. I appreciated the story telling about Bella, instead of it being more a biography. The dual point of view with Bella’s sister really allowed the reader to see how strange and unhinged Bella truly was. The extent of Bella’s known and speculated crimes is astounding. If you enjoy true crime stories, this is a great read. For me, I just had a tough time getting into it since true crime is not really my reading jam. I read this story as part of my book club. The other members really enjoyed it!
