Triflers Need Not Apply by Camilla Bruce

Bella loves men - she loves them to death... The compulsively readable and deliciously dark reimagining of the life of America's first female serial killer.

Early in life, Bella discovers the world is made for men. They own everything. But Bella sees what few others do: where women are concerned, men are weak.

And so, Bella sets out to prove she can be as ruthless and black-hearted as any man.

Starting with her husband Mads, Bella embarks on a killing spree the like of which has never been seen before - nor since.

And leaving kind, older sister Nellie to gaze in horror as Bella's schemes to enrich herself and cut down the male population come to terrible fruition...
