Other Versions of this Book: Hardcover, Hardcover
Book 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 imaginedparticularly 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.

I loved this book. This is one of those books where you really care about the characters and the beginning, middle and end of the storyline aren't that important. It's just interesting to be involved with these characters for a little while and see into their lives. I also liked that you get background on each of them from their own perspective so that you understand their motivations.

I ordered this on a whim -- and was glad I did! A wonderful page-turner, blending decades-long friendships and a shocking killing. Very smartly written, with wonderful, complex characters, suspenseful, and intriguing. Definitely recommended!

I loved it! It was a fast and fun read and I really got involved in the lives of all the Margarets. I heard that it's based loosely on how Calaway Gardens used to be managed and since I live near there - although I've never been! - I found the scandals described very fascinating. The story of the first two Margarets' personal lives in charge of the gardens when it was first opened is not based upon any real person's reality, as far as anyone knows, though - just to be clear.

Melody C. (I really enjoyed this book.I've definitely known women like the 3 Margarets in my lifetime. I wish the characters of Lauren and Josh had been fleshed out more but I guess that leaves the possibility of other books open.Also would be nice to know what happened with Nella and Vishta after they left Charles Valley.

A worthwhile read, especially if you're a fan of books set in the South, with sassy female characters.
This is a delightful tale of three southern women and how their friendship came about. It's full of surprises and poignancy. I heartily recommend it.
This was a very interesting book. A high level of suspense.
I enjoyed it, although it took me a little bit to get into it initially.
