The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress by Ariel Lawhon

5.0

I received The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress as part of a Goodreads giveaway. The book which will be available on January 28, 2014 is one I would recommend to anyone interested in the roaring 20s, historical fiction, or just a good read for the winter. Lawhon's novel was a real treat to read and through it's pages, I felt immersed in the culture and time period, set in New York City.

The story is about three women involved in the life of a New York judge who disappeared in 1930, an actual unsolved mystery. The wife, maid, and mistress of Judge Crater weave their own stories throughout the plot and is a definite page-turner until the very end. I'm tempted to read the book again!
