Reviews
"Inspired by a real-life unsolved mystery, this mesmerizing novel features characters that make a lasting impression." -- People magazine "Fresh and imaginative. . . . A sordid portrait of mobsters and mayhem, corruption and carnage, greed and graft . . . [Lawhon] slyly builds the suspense to a stunning revelation." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Ariel Lawhon has concocted a stylish homage to noir in The Wife, The Maid, and The Mistress. This fun, fast-paced novel has it all: speakeasies, gangsters, show girls, and not one, not two, but three women scorned. A real page-turner." --Melanie Benjamin, bestselling author of The Aviator's Wife "A genuinely surprising whodunit." -- USA Today "This book is more meticulously choreographed than a chorus line. It all pays off. Clues accumulate. Each scene proves important. Everyone lies. Once the rabbit is out of the hat, everything takes on a different texture, reorganizes and makes sense. A second reading, like a second cocktail, is almost better than the first." --Chelsea Cain, The New York Times Book Review "A gripping, fast-paced noir novel. . . . Lawhon brings fresh intrigue to this tale. . . . [and] captures a New York City period full of high-kicking showgirls, mob-linked speakeasies and Tammany Hall political scandal." -- Associated Press "A romp through New York in the late '20's. . . . Populated by gangsters and crooked politicians, society ladies and dancers, this story is nothing like your day-to-day life and yet . . . you will find the three women mentioned in the title strangely recognizable." -- Charlotte Observer "A page-turner filled with glitz and glamour as well as murder, greed, and deceit." -- Romantic Times "The twists and turns in the tale of lust, greed, and deceit keep you guessing until the final pages. . . .The Nancy Drew in you can't wait to solve the artfully hidden clues in this historical mystery." -- Daily Candy "Juicy. . . . A plummy, pernicious mystery. . . . Reads like a cross between Sue Monk Kidd and Beth Hoffman."--Chapter16.org "A great story, told with verve and feeling. . . . Lawhon walks one of fiction's trickiest tightropes, creating a novel that is both genuinely moving and full of pulpy fun." -- Booklist "Vivid and unsettling, with a finale as startling as the pop of a gun." --Caroline Leavitt, bestselling author of Pictures of You and Is This Tomorrow, "A genuinely surprising whodunit." -- USA Today "Inspired by a real-life unsolved mystery, this mesmerizing novel features characters that make a lasting impression." -- People "Fresh and imaginative. . . .
