A review by books4biana
The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress by Ariel Lawhon

Rare is it that I get a story from so long ago. It's easy to remember that men were men and women were Dolls. It's easy to recall that segregation was still a thing. It's even pretty easy to imagine the visage of "Wise Guys".

1930s. A judge vanishes and the women in his life are all impacted. Naturally in that era a woman just wasn't allowed to be single. She needed to be protected under a man and she needed his permission. How the absence of such a man impacts their lives is probably a surprise to them all.

A mystery. A murder mystery?
