Megan | 513 comments Title: The Women of Chateau Lafayette
Author: Stephanie Dray
Narrators: Tavia Gilbert, Emma Bering, and Rachel L. Jacobs
Would you recommend this book? Absolutely! I listened to the audiobook version and thoroughly enjoyed the three narrators' interpretations of the three women who were the central characters (two of whom were based on real women). I was totally riveted by the three storylines and kept finding excuses to keep listening. The nearly 24 hours seemed to fly by!

Dubhease | 766 comments Title: The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper
Author: Hallie Rubenhold
Would you recommend this book? Yes! Everyone knows that Jack the Ripper killed prostitutes ... except 3 out of 5 of his victims weren't. This book turns true crime upside down. Instead of the victims of one of the first serial killers being a footnote in his story, this is all about the women - who they were and what their lives were like, and he is barely in it.
