The Devil and Mrs. Davenport by Paulette Kennedy
5.0

WHEW!! This book was a great read- murder, small town, Bible college, controlling husband, meek housewife, psychic abilities, and a cast of outstanding characters.

A harsh reminder to those of us in modern society, the 1950s were not that long ago … do not romanticize the 1950s. Women were very often trapped in horrible marriages, marital r*pe was an accepted thing, women couldn’t have their own bank accounts/credit cards, and no fault divorce wasn’t allowed.
