Suspense
Fourteen chilling tales from the pioneering women who
created the domestic suspense genre Murderous
wives, deranged husbands, deceitful children, and vengeful
friends. Few know these characters—and their creators—better
than Sarah Weinman. One of today’s preeminent authorities on
crime fiction, Weinman asks: Where would bestselling authors
like Gillian Flynn, Sue Grafton, or Tana French be without
the women writers who came before them? In
Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives, Weinman brings
together fourteen hair-raising tales by women who—from the
1940s through the mid-1970s—took a scalpel to contemporary
society and sliced away to reveal its dark essence. Lovers
of crime fiction from any era will welcome this deliciously
dark tribute to a largely forgotten generation of women
writers.
