This is a slow build, character driven story about how a devastating event had a life-altering impact on a young girl’s future, full of gruesome and shocking details, and I could not tear my eyes away from the page. Bruce has proven she’s a versatile writer, going from the speculative, fairy tale genre to a historical thriller about one of America’s most infamous female serial killers, Belle Gunness. This is a very different beast but just as addictive a read. Soon after, I cut her throat and let her bleed out in a bucket.Ĭamilla Bruce’s You Let Me In was one of my favorite books of 2020, and there was no way I was going to miss her latest, In the Garden of Spite. I wished her a speedy recovery as she made her way upstairs. Halfway through the meal, Moira had to excuse herself, as she was feeling ill. The nitty-gritty: A macabre glimpse into the mind of a female serial killer, In the Garden of Spite is a compelling page-turner, rich in historical details and fascinating characters. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
