Good Morning America has chosen The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives by Elizabeth Arnott (Berkley) as its March Book Club pick. GMA wrote: "Set in 1966 California, The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives centers on three unlikely friends--Beverley, Elsie and Margot--whose ex-husbands are convicted killers.
"They know people look at them and think only one thing: How could they not have known what their husbands were doing? How much are they to blame? And yet when a string of local killings hits the news, the three women--underestimated, overlooked, shrewd--decide to get to work. After all, who better to catch a killer than those who have shared their lives and homes with one?"
Reese's Book Club has picked Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser (St. Martin's Press) as its March pick.
The Club wrote, "Lady Tremaine is a clever reimagining of a classic fairytale through the eyes of its most villainous character--the evil stepmother. In her debut novel, Rachel Hochhauser writes empathically about a mother on a relentless mission to protect her daughters, reclaiming Lady Tremaine as a woman determined to shape her and her family’s destiny."
Reese Witherspoon commented: "You think you know the villain... until you hear her side of the story."
