Robert Goolrick's A Reliable Wife
It's 1907 and a rich guy in Wisconsin advertises for "a reliable wife", but what he gets is a woman planning to poison him and take all his money. Of course things don't go quite according to plan . . . this was another advance copy from Algonquin and I'm still trying to decide what I think about it. It should be a book group book since there's a lot of ways discussion could go . . . I dunno, B+? I certainly couldn't put it down, and was surprised at parts, but I'm still not sure if I liked it. I'd definitely recommend it, though, so you can decide for yourselves.
