The Murderess Must Die

The Murderess Must Die
by Marlie Parker Wasserman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Recommendation: 9.5 Stars
( I received this book free in exchange for my honest review )

As a true crime fanatic, I was excited to read this book. It was fascinating reading it from different points of view and getting that other aspect of the story. My dad always told me there are three sides to every story, yours, there's, and the truth.

This story highlights how you can have multiple views of the same thing and leave numerous different conclusions. But the thing is, you'll never know the whole truth of any murder mystery or any crime because nine out of 10 those who committed the crime or the victim are the only ones who know the actual truth.

I will say that though I enjoyed this book and its multi POV's and having those different aspects of the story, there was some point of views that I didn't particularly like only because I didn't particularly like that person or that voice. But you will have that when you do write any book that has these multiple POV's.

Outside of that, this book was constructed with care and was well crafted. It kept me reading. I wanted to know as much of the truth as I possibly could. Especially for the time in which this took place, it is fascinating how they would proceed with such murder cases in that time.

The only other thing that pulled me out of the story is that I did have trouble reading the dialogue with the descriptions, which has to do with the time this book is set in. So if you're not used to historical books that are more authentic to the language of the time, I will suggest taking your time reading to understand the slang fully. That way, you can fully immerse yourself in the book.

Overall I give this book my high recommendation in my sample approval. The multiple aspects and layers of this book will have you thinking about what truly transpired to drive this woman to murder.

Happy Reading
