About this book
A man is found dead in his bed with a rope tied around his neck. His wife is the main suspect. When Sheriff Henry Peters, attorney George Henderson and the farmer Mr. Lewis Hale investigate the crime scene, they leave Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale together. The two housewives are overlooked by the men, but they still notice important details that could make a change in the investigation. This short story is about women’s solidarity in the face of disregarding men. The crime is less about murder than it is about motives. It brings light to a growing sisterhood, in a society where feminism was a quiet secret shared behind the back of blind husbands.
