“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. . . . 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
“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
