Fascinating review! It’s intriguing how Pelagatti blends historical facts with fiction to craft such a compelling narrative around the Philadelphia housewives. Your insights, especially on the character development and the vivid depiction of the 1930s setting, offer a deeper appreciation for the novel. I share your sentiment about the title possibly limiting its audience reach. This review certainly highlights the book’s strength in storytelling and character complexity.

Mere looking at the title of book, I know this is going to be an interesting bock to read. Also, one thing I've noticed over the years is that its easier to destroy men who join forces in a fight than to story women. I'm really curious to know what happened in the end!

The story revolves around a group of housewives who conspire with a local tailor, Giorgio DiSipio, to murder their husbands for insurance money. The author, a trial attorney, discovers a link between the cases and the murders. Each woman's backstory is detailed, with specific problems and relationships. The book features a large cast of characters, including Boris Feldman, aka the Rabbi, who is entertaining during interrogations and courtroom scenes.

I'm always watching programs like True Crime Stories and Snapped, so this book is up my alley. The fact that this was going on during the 1930s is what was shocking to me. I cannot wait to get my hands on this novel. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.
