“A deeply researched and morbidly fascinating chronicle of one of America’s most notorious female killers.” - The New York Times Book Review
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
In the pantheon of serial killers, Belle Gunness stands alone. She was the rarest of female psychopaths, a woman who engaged in wholesale slaughter, partly out of greed but mostly for the sheer joy of it. Between 1902 and 1908, she lured a succession of unsuspecting victims to her Indiana “murder farm". Some were hired hands. Others were well-to-do bachelors. All of them vanished without a trace. When their bodies were dug up, they hadn’t merely been poisoned, like victims of other female killers. They’d been butchered.
Hell’s Princess is a riveting account of one of the most sensational killing sprees in the annals of American crime: the shocking series of murders committed by the woman who came to be known as Lady Bluebeard. The only definitive book on this notorious case and the first to reveal previously unknown information about its subject, Harold Schechter’s gripping, suspenseful narrative has all the elements of a classic mystery - and all the gruesome twists of a nightmare.

The book is well researched, the story told in an interesting, journalistic style. The narration was the hiccup for me. I really liked Hillgartner’s style for this book, but at the same time, the tone of it lulled me too much at times and I found myself not really paying attention, carried away by the sound of his voice.
I would read another book by Schechter without hesitation, and I would listen to another narrated by Hillgartner with only slight hesitation, knowing I’ll likely have to force myself to pay attention now and then. I recommend this book if you like mysteries and true crime. She was very, very bad.
Well done
