Though the start and finish dates show that it took me two
and a half months to finish this novel, that’s not entirely true. There was a
lot of stopping & starting as this was a novel I picked up as my “in-between
novels” novel.
The author did an excellent job of providing all the
details. I enjoyed the photographs and other digital touches in the novel.
My personal opinion on the Belle Gunness story/saga is this.
The woman seen with her in the moments/days before the fire
was indeed none other than Ester Carlson and Belle did her in and took over her
life, moving far enough away from everyone—at that time—that she could get away
with it. Since they were of similar origin, size, height, and all, it was easy
for her to do. Ray Lamphere, in my opinion, did not set fire or kill Belle
& her children. I’m of the notion that it was all Belle Gunness, the wicked
woman that she was.
It definitely makes one wonder, though.
It was an interesting read and before this book, I did not know of her existence.
