Summary

What can drive a young and seemingly innocent child to kill?

Murder is horrible enough when perpetrated by adults, and yet the concept takes on a whole new level of chilling morbidity when a murderer is revealed to be a young boy or girl. Is it the result of severe trauma manifesting itself in the most macabre of ways? Is it the progeny of some severe mental disorder? Or were they influenced by the actions of the people they grew up with?

Most of the time, the answers to such a question are simple but no less horrific.

Eleven-year-old Mary Flora Bell was tried and found guilty, in 1968, for the coldhearted murders of two very young boys - crimes which she committed without any hint of remorse. After her past and motives have been examined, hindsight asks the pressing question: Did Mary's past as a victim herself help turn her into a killer?

In this brand new expanded edition, the author sets out to discover what really happened to turn young Mary into an infamous killer. In addition to the previous material, you will find an all-new introduction and content filled with the author’s never before published in-depth study into what made Mary angry enough to kill and her life after the crimes.

From the details of her murders to the dark childhood she suffered, Mary Flora Bell’s short, but horrific, time as a child serial killer will be analyzed in detail within Mary Flora Bell: The Horrific True Story Behind An Innocent Girl Serial Killer. Get your copy now and learn the tragic nature of a good girl gone bad and her road to redemption.

An insight into “why?”

Fascinating read, delving into the background of Mary’s childhood a little deeper than other books. Anyone studying the mind and reasons behind murder it’s a great book.

Awful

I was shocked at how terrible both the writing and narration was. Repetative mispronunciation of common words and a dull robotic voice. Writing full of conjecture, inaccuracies, presumptions, and poor attempts at psychoanalysis. Sensationalist nonsense.

It would have made a better clickbait YouTube video. I can't believe I wasted an audible credit on it!
