Divided Lives by K.R. Mullins – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

Divided Lives by K.R. Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author writes wonderful, cozy, mysteries that are unique, and they are great to curl up with and read straight through to the end. Her ideas are original, thrilling, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Divided Lives seems to have connections to this authors other cozy mysteries series, The Notebook Mysteries, and I can attest that if you enjoyed those you will absolutely enjoy this book. As a historical fiction, crime fiction, and true crime fan this book was right up my alley. It was actually based on a true case that was a big contributor to the story. Lottie, our main character, is unashamedly bi-sexual which is another main theme throughout the book, which during this time period was mostly kept under wraps, and secret, and that sets the stage for the blackmail the main character and many others are the target of. Another big focus of the story is how woman are ‘supposed’ to look and ‘supposed’ to behave and I really enjoyed how Lottie pushed through, and busted all of those barriers. I did have a hard time at first with all of the bouncing between the past, and the present, that I usually don’t have issues following, but I found this did smooth out as the book progressed. Overall, this was a wonderful read and I enjoyed all of the authors original thoughts. I would definitely recommend this book to others who enjoy the same genre.
