The Wicked Wives . . . . A novel based on a true story
Gus Pelagatti
This
book is based on 5 women; Lillian Stoner the opium addict, Eva Russo
the gambler, Joanna Napoli a gift shop owner, Rose Grady the "kiss of
death widow and Sadie Lamb who runs a boarding house. What do they all
have in common ?? Sex, love of money, all widows and in love with
Giorgio Disipio a local tailor. He convinces these women to kill of
their husbands for insurance money. From there they start a death ring.
It took a few years and a lot of work but these women and Giorgio went
down !!
This book was set in the 1930's. I fell in love from the
first page. It is filled with suspense. I love reading and watching
about the mob and this one was right up there ! It
was different to see women doing the killing rather than the men! I
think that made it more exciting! ! ! It has it all! Suspense, crime,
sex, drugs and court house drama! I highly recommend this read,
exceptionally if you like true crime. Its a book you want to start with
early morning coffee and finish up at night with a glass of wine.
I would rate this has a 5 star !
