Outstanding!

Author Liz Tolsma has created a fascinating account of the suitors who started appearing in LaPorte as possible husband candidates. These men came, and then, left just as quickly! As other strange occurrences happen and the evidence mounts, Ingrid can no longer defend her sister's actions and we are given a glimpse of the true nature of Belle Gunness. I can't decide if she was greatly disturbed or truly evil but this is a story that you won't soon forget! Some of the details would seem unbelievable if not for the documentation that Tolsma has included in her historical notes. There are still many unanswered questions about this case but Tolsma has included a strong faith element in the characters of Ingrid Storset and Nils Lindherud. The Gold Digger is a wonderful addition to the True Colors Crime series and it's a book that I couldn't put down! I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit. There was no obligation to write a favorable review. These are my own thoughts.

Creepy True Colors

These True Colors books really aren't my preferred genre, but I am hooked! Knowing that they are based on true stories makes them especially creepy! This one by Liz Tolsma really had me going- "How can they do that?" "Don't you get it?" "Why won't someone do something!?" It took a while to figure it out, because more than one person was suspect. The crimes were heinous, but the author weaved in tenets of faith and a sweet romance, which gave balance to the story. The characters developed strength as they went through the arduous process of seeking the truth. Nils and Ingrid were kind when the other did not want to accept the truth. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it for those who enjoy true crime novels. Although part of a series, each novel stands on its own. The author's note at the end includes her research about the topic and what had been fictionalized. I received an e-ARC of this book from the author, through Celebrate Lit, for review purposes. The thoughts expressed here are my own.

Lots of Twists and Turns

The Gold Diggers title and cover fit in perfectly with the storyline. I was unfamiliar with the true crime story of Belle Gunness and found this account to be both a bizarre and bone-chilling suspense. There are lots of twists and turns and just when you think you have it all figured out; the story takes another turn. Author Liz Tolsma has done a remarkable job writing a fiction story based on a true story. If one of your favorite genres is suspense and crime stories, this book needs to be in your to-be-read stash. I was given a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions are my own.
