The Notorious Mrs. Clem by Wendy Gamber
Based on extensive sources, including newspapers, trial documents, and local histories, this gripping account of a seemingly typical woman who achieved extraordinary notoriety will appeal to true crime lovers and historians alike.
The murder of a business partner doesn't sound very sexyBut Gamber raises a provocative issue when she studies the era's disapproving attitude toward any woman who dared to benefit from the commercial opportunities of a postwar world-especially if that commerce happened to be illegal.
