No one sees them at all after they come to call on the Widow of La Porte. Men come to her with their hopes, their dreams–their fortunes. GenreĪn audacious novel of feminine rage about one of the most prolific female serial killers in American history–and the men who drove her to it. And now I can say it was a really good read.
I got lucky and got an early placement in the queue for it. We observe the protagonist justifying “being the monster, rationalizing her degeneracy and why she must do what she does,” which fascinated me and made me quickly hop on my library’s website to place a hold on the book. Then, from Mogsy’s review, I learned that the novel is like a character study.
I assumed In the Garden of Spite would be the same, so I quickly added it to my TBR. I’ve only read one other novel that focuses on such a character - My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, which was a propulsive read. Well, the first bit of info that sparked my interest is that the story is about a female serial killer. Thanks to Mogsy and Tammy for telling me about it in their reviews. This is one of the best books I’ve read so far this year.
