A Reliable Wife
By Robert Goolrick...on the back cover "He placed a notice in a Chicago paper, an advertisement for 'a reliable wife'. She responded that she was a 'simple, honest woman'. " This is the line that interested me in the book...and as I read the book I wondered what would happen. It seemed to go one way, and then it went the other...and with more twists of plot, kept me reading until the very end. Descriptive, like a novel written in another time...a romance, revenge, hatred, and redemption. Many qualities I look for in a book. I enjoyed the historical fiction aspect of it as well. I recommend.

You must read the Spellman Files series by Lisa Lutz. It is a 4 books series and the characters are hilarious. It is about a family of private investigators living in San Fran. Check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think!
You are not the first person to recommend! So I will definitely try them out!
