The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress (Paperback)
Ariel Lawhon"More meticulously choreographed than a chorus line. It all pays off."--Chelsea Cain, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
One summer night in 1930, Judge Joseph Crater steps into a New York City cab and is never heard from again. Behind this great man are three women, each with her own tale to tell: Stella, his fashionable wife, outwardly the picture of propriety; Maria, their steadfast maid, indebted to the judge for her husband's promotion to NYPD detective; and Ritzi, his showgirl mistress, willing to seize any chance to break out of the chorus line. As the twisted truth emerges, Ariel Lawhon's wickedly entertaining debut mystery transports us into the smoky jazz clubs, the seedy backstage dressing rooms, and the shadowy streets beneath the Art Deco skyline.
