Great! One of the best things about this book is that it's based on a true story.

Congrats on having the BOTM in July, bookowlie! (Guess I'm a little late to the party, but I just noticed. :oops: )

You are not the only one. Until this afternoon, I was oblivious to my own party. Several people were congratulating me on BOTM or saying they were looking forward to the discussion. I was thinking huh? I just thought I had a global announcement and that they were all mistaken. Boy, do I have egg all over my face. :doh: :doh: :doh:

Don't feel bad. I kind of didn't understand at first either. I saw the global announcement above the Holding Fire discussion and kind of guessed.

I think I would like to read this book. Wives gone bad... A tailor sewing a web of murder for money! Definately an e-reader book unless you do not mind being asked about Wicked Wives.

HA HA HA. I looked up the cover on Amazon a while back and it has a little blurb on the front that makes it clear it's not a "naughty" book.

You just proved my point that the author would have done better by choosing another title.

I just bought this book off Amazon and downloaded it onto my Kindle. I'm looking forward to reading it and discussing it in July.

This sounds like such an intriguing book! I absolutely love historical fiction, especially the based-on-true-events variety. I'm definitely going to have to get my hands on this before July (a.k.a. now)

Also, great review bookowlie! :clap:

Thanks Lovely_Loreley. I also love books that are based on true events, particularly crimes. If you are planning to read the book, the kindle book is only $2.99 on Amazon right now.

By the way, your user name is great! It makes me think of the Lorelai character from Gilmore Girls. :)
