A review by lisakerd
The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict

DNF 27% I also tried reading The Mystery of Mrs. Christie and got equally as far, but both times Marie Benedict’s writing feels like she just read the Wikipedia page about these famous women and then tried to write historical fiction about them in the first person. She has a very forced, unnatural way of feeding the reader the biographical information without a sense of really bringing the celebrity to life. She also makes the narrators annoyingly naive-sounding instead of strong heroines.
