Triflers Need Not Apply Summary

Triflers Need Not Apply: Be frightened of her. Secretly root for her. And watch history's original female serial killer find her next victim. by Camilla Bruce

You've never met a woman as dangerous as Bella Sorensen . . .

THE FASCINATING REIMAGINING OF THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HISTORY'S ORIGINAL FEMALE SERIAL KILLER

'Extraordinary. Bruce does a marvellous job of reimagining this real-life murderer, without excusing her crimes' THE TIMES

'Dark, twisted and dangerously addictive' SAM LLOYD, bestselling author of THE MEMORY WOOD
________

1900, Chicago.

Bella Sorenson knows that the world is made for men.

They control everything: jobs, property, money. Marriage makes women like her their slaves.

But now Bella is fighting back.


Because she's angry. She's bloodthirsty. She's willing to kill to get what she wants - starting with her husband.

And then her next husband. And the next one . . .
________

'Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story of revenge' WOMAN'S WEEKLY

'Dark glee, tragedy . . . Fans of my story The Corset will gobble this up' LAURA PURCELL

'Come for the fabulous premise, stay for the razor-sharp portrait of a marvelously complex (and often totally terrifying) mind . . . Camilla Bruce has absolutely outdone herself' LAIRD HUNT

'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

Triflers Need Not Apply Reviews

Got 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 *
