Hell's Princess: The Mystery of Belle Gunness, Butcher of Men by Harold Schechter

2.0

I think a more accurate title for this book and the majority of its content would be: “Murder Investigations and Legal Proceedings in the Early 1900s: The Trial of Ray Lamphere.” Not what I wanted to hear about when I picked up a book about a “butcher of men.” The tale of Belle and her transition into a serial murderer was interesting, but I felt that that was only briefly covered and only in the first third of the book.
