This sounds like an interesting historical fiction story deserving attention. What about "The Wicked Wives?" What made each unique and how did they impact the storyline? Did their love for money ever change or they lived with the trait till they arrived to the grave? I would love to read the book to find out. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

Someone said, "money is the root of all evil." The other said "No, the love of money is the root of all evil." This is an amazing fictional account. I'm certain the true crime was good but fiction is much better. I don't want to miss this
