While Christian historical fiction is definitely my jam, Christian historical super-creepy-based-on-serial-killers fiction is not something I go out of my way to read! However, when I saw The Gold Digger recommended on an app as a book I might be interested in, I thought I'd give it a try.
WOW!
In the span of two days, I listened to every minute of this book. My attention span to do much else was pretty much gone. I had never heard of Belle Gunness (although, I have since read about the craziness which was her life), and while I suspected her from the very beginning as the killer, there were some events toward the end of the story that still left a bit of mystery. (I promise, I did not just spoil the story for you...once you have read the first 2-3 chapters, you'll see what I mean.) Since most of Belle's history is public knowledge, the author added some fictional characters and a beautiful redemption arc to soften what would otherwise be a depressing tale.
Liz Tolsma is still a fairly new author to me, but after reading The Gold Digger and loving it, I will definitely be seeking out more of her books in the future!
