Review: The Girls of Murder City: Fame, Lust, and the Beautiful Killers who Inspired Chicago

The Girls of Murder City: Fame, Lust, and the Beautiful Killers who Inspired Chicago The Girls of Murder City: Fame, Lust, and the Beautiful Killers who Inspired Chicago by Douglas Perry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder! Mayhem! Girls with no scruples! This is the true story of Chicago. Hang onto your seat, these girls are out for murder. It was interesting to see the Chicago play how it really was and then how it became the hit plays/movies that we all know (and love). For all the Roaring 20's fans out there.

April Book Pick

The book pick for April is......







 I will admit I had no idea what this month's pick was about when I put it on hold.  I only knew that anything Susan Meissner writes, Michelle will read. I loved this one from the first page.  

Imagine a mail-order bride traveling across the country to an unknown place knowing she will become a wife and mother almost the minute she steps off the train in San Francisco.    Martin (her new husband)  will, at first, seem like a perfect husband, gentle, patient, giving, that will soon fall as Sophie sees he is a bit standoffish with his child, a bit evasive with her, and not willing to share much about his life.  He is a man with a secret, but then she is a bride with a secret, and the child will also have a secret.  Secrets tend to have a way of revealing themselves, and come out when you least expect them to.  Throw in a natural disaster like an earthquake and you have lots of drama that will literally keep you on the edge of your seat.  


I don't think there is anything about this book that you won't like.
