One summer night in 1930, Judge Joseph Crater steps into a New York City cab and is never heard from again. Behind this great man are three women, each with her own tale to tell: Stella, his fashionable wife, the picture of propriety; Maria, their steadfast maid, indebted to the judge; and Ritzi, his showgirl mistress, willing to seize any chance to break out of the chorus...more

3 stars - It was good.
Knowing that this was a fictionalized account of a true event made it far more interesting of a read. Joseph Crater was presented as being an utter prick with no redeeming qualities, so I could not have cared less what happened to him in the end or the details of his demise. On the other hand, the characterization of the ladies (the wife, the maid and the mistress) was excellent, and you find yourself pulling for all three heroines - impressive given how very different they...more

Going into this book, I knew nothing about the disappearance of Justice Joseph Crater, so I was judging the book more from a fiction than a historical fiction perspective. I think the book works well as pure fiction--and based on other readers' comments, it seems to succeed as historical fiction, as well. I thought this book was excellent.

But it was good. I liked how, like with another book, 'The Art Forger', the author used a true story and combined Historical non fiction with a current fiction story.
I also liked the atmosphere..smoky rooms, music and a mystery waiting to unfold.

Who would have thought that being a maid could be this dangerous? Maria never would have guessed that.
Maria cleaned for Judge Joseph Crater who had a mistress and who was involved with gangsters. Then one day Joseph disappeared, and even his wife didn't know where he was.
Joseph’s wife, Stella, their maid, Maria, and Joseph’s mistress, Ritzi, were characters you will love and feel sorry for. Stella Crater knew about her husband's mistress, Maria saw the mistress one day when she arrived to clean...more

This was quite satisfying, starting slow but gaining momentum. Based on the actual disappearance of a State Supreme Court Judge who was never found, Ariel Lawhon has painted a colorful and somewhat historical depiction of New York City in the early thirties and her descriptions are a highlight. Broadway, gangsters, fashion, and social mores are splashed through the pages like the Newspaper rag headlines. Lawhon uses creative license to fill in the gaps of the actual case, but separates fact from...more

'The Wife, the Maid and the Mistress' by Ariel Lawhon is based on the real life disappearance of New York Supreme Court Judge Joseph Crater in 1930. The story unfolds primarily in New York City, where very little divides the powerful from the criminal and the corruption and ambition that drives them. Our guide to the underworld is a showgirl named Ritzi, who spends late nights with both Judge Crater and notorious mob boss Owney Madden.

I’m surprised at how much I truly enjoyed this intriguing mystery based on a true story – the mysterious disappearance in 1930 of Judge Joseph Crater, who was never found. The storyline, made all the more deliciously alluring and enticing by the smokey voice of narrator Anne Marie Lee, shifts back and forth between the 1920s, 1930s and 1960s. Joe Crater, we find out is involved in shady activities, is embroiled with unsavory characters and is two-timing his wife, much to the dismay and chagrin o...more

A page-turner and an interesting take on what might have happened with the disappearance of Judge Crater which remains a mystery to this day. I enjoy reading about real historical people and what it might have been like in their lives and times. Certainly the author took some liberties as it's impossible to know every true detail but I appreciate the author notes in the back discussing her input and ideas.

The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress by Ariel Lawson is an exceptional fictional account, based upon known fact, of the 1930 disappearance of Judge Joseph Force Crater. Lawson takes the reader back to the time period, expertly sets the mood and then gives the reader well thought out characters and a rather plausible account of just what happened to Judge Crater.

A prominent judge goes missing and three woman are connected to him in someway, one is his wife, one is his maid and the other is his mistress. This isnt neccesarily a 'who-dunnit' type of novel, but for these women their connection to him entwines into their lives. This was a well written, engrossing read filled with details of the 1930's, the seedy speakeasy's, the sultry jazz music, ambitious chorus girls and of course gangsters. The story flows nicely and is well worth the time spent reading...more

I felt like this book was trying really, really hard to be clever but didn't quite get there. The premise (the disappearance of a judge and the roles the three women in his life may or may not have played in that disappearance) was really intriguing and great, but the lack of character development and lack of real urgency concerning the central mystery meant that this book was somehow missing its spark. However, I do always enjoy historical New York as a setting when done well, and Lawhon has cl...more

What a delicious vintage crime story inspired by real events. The era of prohibition and mobsters in NYC spring to life in a novel that is part history, part mystery, and part romance.
The mysterious disappearance of Judge Joseph Crater in 1930 sets the backdrop. Actual parties involved or speculated to be part of his disappearance bring the story to life coupled with a believable mixture of historical fiction. Thoroughly enjoyed this novel and recommend!

Fascinating paegturner speculating the real story behind the disappearance of Justice Joseph Crater in 1930 through the women who were closely involved in his life. A wonderfully imagined and brutal rendering of 1930's New York, complete with gangsters, showgirls, corrupt politicians and the women forced to live in their shadows. Completely absorbing and tough to put down once begun.

Ariel Lawhon transports readers to 1930's New York gatherings full of corrupt police, politicians, and showgirls. Too often movies and books depicting this era take on the masculine angle of guns and gangsters with girls on the side and while women have often been embroiled in controversies and conspiracies, the focus is generally on the men. Until now. Lawhon's three female main characters exemplify the three layers of social strata of the time: politician's wife, working class woman, and showg...more

In 1930, the unsolved crime of the disappearance of Judge Crater provides a fertile field for the author's interpretation of the events leading up to this event. Prohibition mobsters and politicians, dance hall girls and girlie shows, speakeasies and the easy access to alcohol that those who had the power or the money never actually had to do without all set the stage complete the picture

I struggled with this book in the beginning but I stuck with it and it picked up a bit in the middle and towards the end. It is a historical novel, of sorts, in that it gives an alternative theory of what might have happened in the disappearance of Judge Crater. I read this for a book club, so that's the only reason, in the end, that I finished it.

I really wanted to like this more than I did. I thought it was an interesting take on a real-life story but I felt like it moved slower than I'd liked. I'm a fan of historical fiction and female protagonists - which describes this book completely but it just didn't engage me as much as I'd like.

(Image contains spoilers for the ending of Maids II: Deception)
Spoiler:
Development has begun for Maids II: Deception - Epilogue, a 'sixth' episode for the quest mod that takes place after the events of Sky's Divide. Instead of one long questline, it will feature several smaller ones that are essential towards bridging the gap to the world changing events that are still to come.
The following sections will cover information on what the epilogue will contain along with how development will proceed.
Setting
The featured questline for the Epilogue is set primarily in a pocket realm of Oblivion known as Valhalla, a place that has adopted - sometimes stolen - its name and culture from countless sources and is inhabited by an immortal elven race known as the 'holy matrons' and their human, mer, and daedric followers. It is also a realm in steady decline following the disappearance of its reigning goddess a hundred years ago.
Valhalla is a network of Ayleid strongholds in the sky that appeared in Maids I: Euphoria for TES4: Oblivion and has a backstory derived from the Claudia's Little Secret mod. With the permission of the Beyond Skyrim modding team, this new land will be created for the Epilogue using new, high quality assets based on the original Ayleid models and textures featured in TES4 recreated from scratch for TES5.
The Observer keeps her word. She and the Dragonborn will meet again after Sky's Divide. Unfortunately, she, like all others, has her own ambitions. She wishes to steer the rightful inhabitants of Valhalla towards an ancient way of life rather than having them continue in aimless self-indulgence on the eve of the world's end. The Observer's efforts are resisted by Faustina, the true, last living member of the Pinder family in surname only and one of Valhalla's most influential officials. Faustina's approach is one of pragmatism backed by the knowledge of the pain that is destined to befall those who follow the Observer. Both of these characters seek the Dragonborn's loyalty in their cause, but neither is truly free from being manipulated by their very own servants.
Something is happening in Solstheim. Hundreds that were thought to have perished during the Red Year are suddenly turning up alive and well. It would have been deemed a miracle were it not for the fact they all now share an unbreakable bond that overrides old familial ties and friendships. At the center of this bittersweet phenomenon? A dead god's solitary apostle, cleansed in the flames of Red Mountain, and reborn as many. Her newfound idol also has many faces. Some call the idol the 'Dragonborn.'
The apostle is not the only one who has a keen interest in the Hero of Skyrim. Underground political forces loyal to the Empire are maneuvering quicker than ever before. Hope has been absent ever since the Great War sealed the Empire's fate as a puppet of the Aldmeri Dominion. Until now. Not since the Champion of Cyrodiil has one person gained so much influence in a single province, and with the mysterious death of Emperor Titus Mede II, the time has come for the unthinkable. If the Empire is to be reborn, a new emperor must be crowned. One that transcends mortality in the form of a symbol to unite the provinces of Man despite old rivalries and the machinations of the Dominion. But what price will have to be paid if this effort is undertaken?
The Dragonborn is not the same person that existed at the start of this journey. Something happened at Sky's Divide. 'If that abomination had never existed, the Fifth Era would have come and gone as it should have, but now there is a hope for an age of eternal peace.' At least, that is what the apostle believes.
Development
Schedule
A lot has changed in terms of schedule and modding availability since M2 concluded. Plans for an epilogue were made from the beginning in 2012 with this in mind, but it must be disclosed now in order to avoid disappointment that development is going to proceed slowly and will be handled more casually. Everything was devoted towards completing M2 from 2012 - 2016 and it cannot be done again. There's even a chance that development will continue on into the next TES game's release cycle - assuming 2019 at the earliest. However, given the direction Bethesda has taken since the release of TES5, the setting of any post-M2 story, and even less time available for largescale modding, a 'Maids III' mod for TES6 wouldn't have been possible anyway.
The Epilogue will be a side project whereas M2 demanded work every day for five years. Updates on progress will be few, but the aim is to create a tightly focused mod on more relaxed terms.
Release
The Epilogue will be released exclusively for the standard editions of the mod (Nexus Mods, ModDB, etc.) and not for Abridged editions (Steam, Bethesda.NET). This is due to the content that will be included that would require large sections to be censored under Steam and Bethesda's Terms of Service. Abridged editions of the mod will continue to receive v5.x updates as needed when the epilogue is released whereas the full versions of the mod will continue on under v6.x releases.
Content
The following are the content goals for the Epilogue. While not final, they help provide a rough outline of what needs to be completed before release:
- Trolhetta Cave: a dungeon from The Elder Scrolls: Online. It happened to be placed in the same location as where Euphoria Palace would be constructed hundreds of years later. It will be added in the Epilogue as an optional dungeon in the same vein as Heartland Cave in the current M2 release. It will be accessible only after completing the final quest 'Odyssey'. This will be the first work to be done for the Epilogue as a means of getting back into modding after a break from the CK.
- Two new worldspaces: Valhalla and Saahel. Combined, they may end up being the size of Sky's Divide, but because of their nature as sky and lava areas, they will mostly consist of unnavigable empty space with some safe havens and non-quest specific interiors dotting the worldspaces.
- At least three questlines. Minor additional quests might be added, but no plans for now.
- Whereas M2 avoided placing quest objectives in Solstheim aside from possibly spawning captains at Raven Rock for the final quest, the Epilogue will have a questline take place there.
- Diverging quest layouts based on the decision at the end of Ep. 5.
- Lilith and Freya will be enabled as followers post-Epilogue. May or may not be 'canon' in relation to story events that take place and will mostly serve as a special bonus reward.
Some more important news that coincides with the announcement of the Epilogue:
- As of this article, the Bethesda.NET PC release of M2 for TES5: Special Edition has been rendered permanently broken due to a Creation Kit update. Without the ability to rollback to both an earlier version of TES5 and the CK, it cannot be updated unless Bethesda issues a patch.
- Google and Dropbox file storage mirrors for the mod have been removed. MEGA will remain the sole file storage site for the mod and will only host split archives for large packages that exceed 100MB, including the main mod and texture packs.
- A wiki to document Maids I and II has been opened and is updated occasionally. A timeline for the series that was previously available only for download as a Word document can now be viewed here.
