New Stories by the Best Women Crime Writers edited by Sara Paretsky
Twenty-one crime writers with the best eyes in the business give us twenty-one new stories. Sara Paretsky, Amanda Cross, Antonia Fraser, Liza Cody, Gillian Slovo, Barbara Wilson, Sue Grafton, Mary Wings and many more favourites have been gathered together in 'A Woman's Eye'.
Stories told from a child's-eye view, themes of jealousy and revenge, booze and brawls, a vandalised poet's grave - all are part of what Sara Paretsky describes as "a great outpouring of women's stories" in which "the number of interesting women heroes has grown past counting".
VI Warshawski, Jemima Shore and Kate Fansler carry their very particular styles and detecting skills into Chicago's streets, an anonymous hotel in West London, the seeming safety of a university residence. This marvellous collection just goes to prove that there is no one way to view a woman!
