A review by tylertylertyler
The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress by Ariel Lawhon

4.0

A little less surprising and mystery intensive than I would have liked from the novelization of such a famous mystery, but it was still a very good book. There were a few very good surprises along the way, and it was quite well written. Lawhon did an excellent time rendering the time periods and its language and mores. As a historical fiction it was stunning, even if it was much more mediocre as a mystery/thriller. Still, the story delivered on both ends.
