T
itle: The Wife, The Maid, and The MistressAuthor: Ariel Lawhon
Genre: Historical Fiction
Synopsis: New York City, 1930, Judge Joe Crater has gone missing. No one seems to know the whole story about what has happened to him, but the three women who know him best; his wife, Stella Crater, his maid, Maria Simon, and his mistress, Sally Lou 'Ritzi' Ritz, each know a part of the story.
My Thoughts
This book was recommended to me more than once by a colleague who really enjoyed it and has similar taste in books as me. He recommended it to me so many times that he finally just gave it to me for helping him with setting up some technology for his class. I am super glad that he did.
This novel is based on the mysterious disappearance of Judge Joe Crater and the author fills it with intrigue. The story jumps around in time, each section dated like a diary entry but told in the third person perspective of each woman. Small tidbits of what happened to Crater come out as the reader learns about the complicated lives and complex relationships of Stella, Maria, and Ritzi.
Because Joe Crater was never found and this is a work of fiction, the author uses creative license to come up with one possibility to explain his disappearance. It does not disappoint.
