Norah's presence in the house is welcome to all, but her narrative chapters hint at a greater purpose for being at the house than simply to serve as an assistant to Laurie. The third narrative is furnished by Eve, an imprisoned woman thought to be a member of this club. She agrees to speak with the police in return for favours, so Laurie and Norah travel to see her. Here is where the story began to unravel a bit for me...Eve will not talk to Laurie with a woman in the room, but she agrees to write Laurie long detailed letters. For a woman who purports to be afraid to death of this Club, why agree to put pen to paper? And she can clearly tell he is blind, so she writes knowing Norah is reading the missives to Laurie anyway. There isn't a lot of depth to the plot so I won't go into details. The read is enjoyable, the characters are likable, but the end overreaches and tries so hard to be twisty, unexpected, and shocking that it just came across as confusing and somewhat of a let down. For the clear writing, good characters, and general enjoyablility, I give this 3 stars. ![]() Laurie Davenport, a veteran who returns home from World War II, is both blind and traumatized from what he saw and experienced during the war. He is having a hard time getting the past out of his head. The one thing he is sure about is that his wife Charlotte is trying to kill him. In an attempt to distract him, an old friend asks Laurie to assist him in an investigation. He asks Norah Walsh to assist him by being his eyes and ears. He wants her to search for clues to the group of women who are called ‘The Murdering Wives Club’. Legend has it that these women belong to a club called The Sinful Roses. Eventually, Norah finds one of their members, Eve Good, who claims to have inside knowledge and is wiling to share what she knows. But can Eve Good be trusted? Can Norah be trusted? I can visualize this as a black and white movie made in the 1940s, very atmospheric, not knowing who to trust, not knowing what will jump out around the next turn. The author sweeps the reader along on a tale filled with twists and turns, interesting cast members, and a time frame filled with drama and deceit. ![]() geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The Murdering Wives Club is a support group for women who wish to murder their husbands. Or so the rumour goes. Returning home from World War II, Laurie Davenport is blind and traumatised. He is also convinced that his wife, Charlotte, is trying to kill him. With the help of his assistant, the enigmatic Norah Walsh, Laurie hunts for proof of these killer women. Then convicted Irish murderer Eve Good claims to have belonged to a club of murdering wives called The Sinful Roses. She agrees to recount her harrowing crimes to Laurie and Norah. Can Eve Good shed light on this obscure matter? Can a blind, amateur detective succeed in exposing this terrifying group of murdering women? And in his darkened world, whom can he trust?
