Product Description:
Miss Peggy, Dr. Maggie, and Miss Li’l Bit, friends and confidantes for nearly a lifetime, find it funny and bewildering that they have become icons in Charles Valley, Georgia. Little does the rest of the town know that beneath the irreproachable façades of its three doyennes lies an explosive decades-old secret that is about to be revealed.
Thirty-odd years ago the three Miss Margarets did something extraordinary, clandestine, and very illegal. Although they are haunted by the night that changed their lives, they believe that their crime was simply a matter of righting an egregious wrong. But when a stranger’s arrival in town and a tragic death open the floodgate of memory, their loyalty, friendship, and honor are tested in ways they could never have imagined—particularly when they have to contend with Laurel Selene, a young woman who has spent her life nursing an alcoholic mother and a huge grudge. Now Laurel is on the verge of discovering what happened the night the three Miss Margarets swore their oath of secrecy. Once she knows, will she reveal the truth about the three women she was raised to despise? Or will she face her own troubled history and put the dark legacy they all share behind them?
The Three Miss Margarets is an irresistible, page-turning exploration of the past and the myriad ways it exerts a hold on the present.

Even the most literate reader in my household enjoyed this book for its fine pacing and the author's clear desire to do justice to her characters and their social situations. A cut above the usual.

This book is a nicely written, entertaining read. The characters are vivid and real, and the mystery involved in the plot pulls the reader in thoroughly, with just enough sex appeal to place this book out of the children's lit category. Very classy popular literature. The ending does make you wonder, though -- are all of the author's women completely disfunctional in the romance department, and/or is the author trying to say that women should only rely on each other, never on the men in their lives? This will make a good book club discussion!

The story of 3 elderly Georgia women, all Margaret, and the history of how they became friends, a mystery of why they're so important in the community, and why they're hated by Laurel.
I did get tired of the hints that something was going to be revealed and just wanted to get on with the story. I got the impression there wasn't much of a story there to start with -- other than history and why there was a dead woman in the cabin -- and that the author needed to rely on hinting there would be a story there eventually to make the book hit 300 pages.

Interesting characters but the plot screams soap opera. I enjoyed the book until the end, and the story got predictable and slow. Reading about the relationships of the characters was more interesting than the plot, but I liked the book anyway.
