I’m such a fan for a good historical fiction book this did not disappoint. Like a great movie, the cast is made up of a group of fantastic characters, especially Lottie, Rose, Chris, & Lisette.
The overall story harbors all levels of murder, mystery, drama and the court room shenanigans reminds me of a great true-crime drama.
The plot is entertaining and the fast paced story will keep you engaged.
Another great book by this gifted author!

Divided Lives by K.R. Mullins. I LOVED this book and I stayed up way too late reading it. Its the story of Lottie the grown daughter of Dora from the Notebook Mystery Series. She is an attorney and its during one of the most infamous court cases in New York. Presiding over this case is Judge John Goff and Lottie is his Court Clerk. He is very demanding and sometimes crosses lines that are for his benefit. Lottie is a successful hard working woman which is rare in these times so she is blazing ways for women. She is also a bisexual which is unheard of during this time. Throw in some blackmail against Lottie and you have a great mystery. This book is just as good and in my opinion even better than the Notebook Mystery Series which is saying a lot because I loved them as well. I hope there will be similar books in the future of this author!

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful historical story. This is a story that has a little bit of everything in it, from romance to mystery. This is a well written story where the characters bring the story to life. They are realistic and connectable. I enjoyed how they pulled me into the story from the start. This is a fast paced, hard to put down read. It is easy to read and entertaining as well. There is great growth of the plot as well as the characters throughout. You don’t want to miss this suspenseful trial. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. I highly recommend reading this book.

This book was a recommendation from a friend that knows I enjoy reading historical event books. This one did not disappoint me. And it took me to a time and place I was not familiar with reading. I also must say that I enjoyed having the flow sheet along with the character list at the end of the book. That was a nice addition that I could flip over to when I needed clarification about the facts. The story kept me on my toes and the plot twisted and turned along the way. It was interesting to learn the behind-the-scenes information into the legal system during the early 1900’s. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is a fan of true crime mysteries with a little bit of romance blended in. It really sucked me in.
