My Take While a young girl is murdered, the emphasis is on how it will affect everyone else socially with a number of the neighbors putting all the blame on the girl. Well, obviously she must have had low morals to have invited rape! How do people actually twist their minds to believe something like this? They are like a snarling pack of dogs. Ooh, that’s rather mean. To the […]

My Take Each of the murders revolves around babies while the instigator is sex. It’s an interesting look at the double standards of the times and the expectations of the wives’ behaviors as most of the families on the square are torn apart. Expectations and beliefs are torn asunder although, I suspect, several of the women affected end up being much happier. I did rather enjoy Reggie having his […]

My Take I can’t believe that in all the years I’ve been reading this series, I missed the very beginning. I’m not sure if I’m not as impressed with this start because I’m bringing expectations to it or if it’s simply the typical rough start authors sometimes have. I have enjoyed getting the baseline, however. What assholes men of the time were! A woman is killed and that automatically means she is immoral!?? Then there’s […]
