The cover made me uncomfortable, and the premise of this book did not do anything better to help me comfort myself. Although, I think this is a witty and chilling crime book that would be loved by many.

The story line is amazing. Greed, desperation rings throughout the book. Nice review too.

It seems like a character-driven story. But, I, generally, don't read fiction. So, I am going to pass this one. Thanks for this informative review.

This book is a collection of crimes that a young boy heard from his mother. Thrilling and full of suspense. Congratulations BOTD!

Thanks for this great review! I am able to paint the image of the scenes in my head from your review. It’s very detailed.

Money can make people do a lot of evil things, most especially those that are very desperate.

I’ve always loved historical fictions. Great job to the author!

I find this book interesting but I also agree that the title is not that catchy. Characters with unlikeable traits kind of pulls you more into the story, it makes them relatable. Congrats and thank you!

When there is a potential homicide being investigated a tailor would be the last possible suspect. This book sounds like it would be interesting, and the fact that these events actually occured just adds more seasoning. Good job on an excellent review!

Well, now I am more than curious to find out what Tom Rossi discovered! This sounds like a juicy story. All these women murdering their husband in a historical setting. I wonder what were their reasons?! 🤔 thanks for introducing this intriguing book!

The best gift in marriage is to have someone that will understand and be there for you when you need them the most. It is heart breaking, when you that person, who claimed to have loved sabotage you. Life is not balance and giving upon life is not a best way to win challenges life throws at us. Congratulations on BOTD.

This book would make a great movie! Not to ever justify murder, but sometimes storylines like these help to explain it. Congratulations on book of the day!
