Hell's Princess by Harold Schechter
The Mystery of Belle Gunness, Butcher of Men
A gripping true-crime account that reconstructs the life and crimes of Belle Gunness, a Norwegian immigrant who ran a farm in rural Indiana in the early 1900s and lured suitors and employees with matrimonial ads and job offers before murdering them for money and insurance; the narrative follows the discovery of a deadly fire and dubious remains, the arrest and conviction of an associate, the sensational press coverage, and the persistent mysteries about how many victims she claimed and whether she died in the blaze or escaped to a new identity.
