Los Angeles, 1937. Agnes Egelmore looks like everyone's favourite old lady. Soft blue eyes. Pink cheeks. A gentle smile. When she is accused of killing her husband, the courtroom fills with curious neighbours who cannot imagine this angel doing harm to anyone.
Then Sheriff Walter Restler from Indiana walks in and speaks her real name.
Rebecca May Linford.
Known to some as Belle Sweety.
As witnesses are called and a trembling sister takes the stand, a far darker life begins to unfold. From a childhood in New York to quiet towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, Rebecca leaves behind a trail of dead husbands, vanished children and buried secrets. In the farm soil around her pretty house, under the guise of respectability and perfect manners, something monstrous has been growing for decades.
Told through gripping courtroom scenes, haunting flashbacks and the heartbreaking testimony of her sister Helga, The Mrs. Lindford Goodness is a chilling psychological crime novel inspired by a true story of one of history's most ruthless female killers. It explores the masks people wear, the families they destroy and the terrible cost of staying silent for too long.
Perfect for readers who love historical crime, slow-burn psychological horror and true-crime inspired fiction about women the world never suspected.
