Black Widows: A Novel
by Cate Quinn
black widows (1/5/2021)
I was intrigued by the theme of this book. I like to learn new things when I read a book and a husband with three wives is is definitely unconventional. I thought the book started slowly but as I continued reading I found it very interesting. As soon as I thought that I had figured something out, there was new a new twist that changed my mind. Then I really wanted to know what happened so I stayed up late to finish. The ending was a complete surprise but other parts of the ending happened quickly and seemed unlikely. Despite this, I would recommend this book to others.
