This book in its hilarious, over-the-topness, has inspired me to write a haiku. I'm starting this thread so that you can join me.
Wicked, wicked wives,
Corrupted by the tailor,
No one is the same.
OK, here's another one:
Lurid, naughty wives,
They had no moral compass,
Sinful to the core.
OK, here's another one:
Alterations, please?
My shirt is short a button.
Oh my goodness, sir.
Please, everyone, add a haiku!

Thanks!! This book is so campy and outrageous that I felt inspired.

Another haiku
You know what they say,
It's "Happy wife, happy life."
Try to stay alive.
Another haiku
A legal thriller?
Then I read page forty two.
Heaven help me now.

I love your haikus. Now, I have to reread the book with the perception of it being deliberately campy and over-the-top. I think I may have tried to take it to seriously to really enjoy it.
Thanks for giving me the insight.

Woohoo! That's what I'm talking about. Purple wives!! OMG.
You know, that reminds me of the classic movie, So I Married an Axe Murderer.

Wicked wives who are purple or red
Poisoned their husbands ‘til they were dead,
It is shocking, I say,
Even in present day,
Purple/red wives should never re-wed.
