Murder Made Her Wicked” by Author Elizabeth Hobbs is an intriguing and suspenseful novel. The Genres for this novel are Historical Mystery and Amateur Sleuth Mystery. The timeline for this novel is set in 1894, and takes place mostly in Boston and at Wellesley College. In this well written novel, the author vividly describes the scenery, the dress of the times, the plot and the complex and complicated characters. The Protagonist of the story is Marigold Manners, a modern woman of the times, that fights for justice. Marigold is a Boston Heiress, with no money, that has earned some money from selling her first story of “The Great Misery Island Murders” to go back to College to finish her degree. Her goals are interrupted by Marigold’s discovery of a young woman found dead in the lake by the campus. Marigold is very polite and manages to get around by bicycle. She also has some accomplished and helpful friends.
At first, there is no identification of the body, or if the dead woman is a student. To avoid startling the students, Marigold is told to be discreet as she investigates what is going on. There is no shortage of tabloid press that prints unauthorized and untrue stories. There are several characters that could be suspect. There are twists and turns, betrayals, and surprises. I recommend this thought-provoking mystery to others. I appreciate how the author mentions the importance of friends, sisterhood, and honesty.
