This book was a fast read for me. I’m not saying that because I think it was good, it just kept the momentum going.

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

Lizzie Borden may have killed her father and stepmother with an axe, but Belle Gunness killed a hell of a lot more, including her own children.
