It's such an interesting book, I liked it when they said, "I had no trouble remembering who each person was and their individual story." It shows how the book is so interesting, how the author is lay down well. I would definitely enjoy this book.

The review was so detailed. The backdrop of the story is set against murders done by a group of philandering wives. The plot has drama, intensity and mystery around it. Great review indeed.

This would be an amazing book to read. It's based on a true-life story. Women actually kill their husbands for gains? I'm a bit curious.

I enjoyed reading your review. I enjoy riveting tales and crime mystery, and this book sounds like one I would like to try. My interest was piqued when you said that what the District Attorney found was much bigger than he could have ever imagined. I can't wait to find out. Thanks for sharing!

Enchanting book with a great storyline. It shows clearly how modern society works especially when greed for wealth creap in and how systems can really be corrupt. Social and political injustices will be inevitable. Great piece

The book sounds interesting, I would love to know the back story of each character and the reason behind their crime and lack of conscience. It would also be a great book to male in order to avoid this calamity again. Thanks for the detailed review, I am sure the author did a good work on the book.

Thanks for the review, BookOwlie. I generally avoid true to life stories, but you have painted a picture of a captivating crime story with some educational elements of a depiction of life in the 1930s. A murder mystery that comes to a satisfying conclusion even though based on real events. Sounds like this should make it to my read pile. Thank you.

This is a great review! I feel like reading the whole book. To be honest, I never thought the "wicked" in the title was enormous to the extent of murder. Wow! It seems like a well written book. And I agree with you on the title.

Thank you for the review! Although the books seems interesting, I don't think I will read it as I am not a fan of crime stories.

A bunch of wives conspiring with a tailor to murder their husbands in the 1930s sounds like a wild ride. I am very curious about how they were caught. Congrats on BOTD.
