The Queens of Crime: A Novel by Marie Benedict
Pub date - 2/11/25
Marie Benedict has been on radar for a while but this was the first time I read one of her stories.
I found this really well written historical fiction, I really liked the characters and their interactions, as well as the locked room mystery aspect.
But… The Queens of Crime didn’t succeed in pulling me in as fully as I’d hoped. Though I did enjoy it, I felt like something essential was missing.
Though this one didn’t fully work for me , I would read more of the author.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the DRC
