The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives
by Elizabeth Arnott
Great read! (11/25/2025)
I loved the general theme of women's independence and ability to take hold of their own agency. I really enjoyed the friendship between these three women who went through tragedies but didn't let it break them. The fact that everyone underestimated them feels realistic with the time, and honestly still today. The concept of this book was interesting to me and I'm glad the delivery was up to par. The writing was good and I really enjoyed the characters. They all brought their own experiences and expertise to the operation which was sometimes surprising. The short chapters made it a quick read and the changing POV's kept me engaged. I genuinely enjoyed this book.
