A powerful listen for those seeking meditative and haunting historical fiction. Share with fans of Jennifer Cody Epstein’s The Madwomen of Paris.

For readers intrigued by the story line and not already familiar with the Quiet Dell murders, this work is an excellent introduction. It serves more broadly as a compelling and touching novel, particularly for anyone interested in true crime fiction, investigative reporting, and Depression-era settings. [See Prepub Alert, 4/29/13.]
