Official Review: The Wicked Wives by Gus Pelagatti

[npandit]

Man, this sounds interesting!! I'm going through a fiction drought--this might just be the next book I have to pick up!

Sounds like a really good book! Can't wait to read it

I agree with the reviewer, I also thought it was romance novel or something before I read the review. But none the less, I hope I could read it as some of the books are not sold in our country

I read a sample of this book and enjoyed it. I like how Pelagatti told not too much about the characters, but not too little. It's a good balance of everything.

Sarah Clay, I agree. The author did a nice job of fleshing out the characters, but not overdoing it. Since there were many characters, it would have dragged the storyline if he told too much about each character.

Very nice review. The book sounds so interesting! I definitely have to check it out.

I am very critical when it comes to true crime stories as very few authors get it right but based on the review and all the comments. I am going to put this on my "want to read" list.

Wonderful review. This book sounds really interesting. When I saw the title "The Wicked Wives", I immediately thought of conniving wives of a polygamist. I think I might have to read this one. I find crime books to be interesting reads, usually.

Thimble, I think you will enjoy this one. Great read!

When I saw the title I thought exactly what the reviewer said people would think-- a chick flick book. But now that I'm finished with the review I'm excited to read it. I've never read a crime book, but this sounds interesting, and just the mention of how much depravity the characters depicted was enough to make me read it. I'm a sucker for dark and intriguing characters.

Great review, will be reading this soon!

Depravity, yes! OMG, that describes the wives perfectly.

Thanks! I think you will enjoy the book.

Ha ha, very clever! Seriously, I wish the book had a different title so that it would attract a wider group of readers. The existing title makes me think of all of those Real Housewives reality shows.....trash TV. The story is actually a riveting crime story based on a true murder conspiracy. I think men would love this book as much as women.

True! I was thinking exactly the same thing when I first saw the title of the book.

Even though I am not into crime stories you make this book sound so interesting. I'm on the fence though, not sure I will read it or not.
