The Red Widow: The Scandal that Shook Paris and the Woman Behind it All by Sarah Horowitz

3.0

Quite interesting! A look into scandal and crime in the Belle Epoque. At its centre is Meg Steinheil, an inveterate liar, about whom the author nevertheless has to tell a convincing biographical account. The crime is unsolved, as it was in Meg's time, but it's a great jumping-off point for looking at the French justice system and high society at the time.
