Edgar Award-winning editor Otto Penzler's new anthology brings together the most cunning, resourceful, and brilliant female sleuths in mystery fiction. A Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Original.

T. Meade and Robert Eustace, Sara Paretsky, Nevada Barr, Linda Barnes, Laura Lippman, and many more.

    Thank you so much for offering this art book. Your price was fabulous on it. I had no communication, but you are no doubt a kind person. You are also a professional person, and your attention to detail really helped me in making my purchase decision. I'm adding you to my favorite seller list, and I always do shop with this list first. And also, I'd like to thank you for the lovely packaging, and the extremely fast shipping. The book was exactly as you described it. Happy New Year, if I can say.

    I had a problem after placing my order. I contacted the seller who responded within an hour and resolved the issue with no hassle. This book was a fair price and received today. I failed to notice, but the description did indicate it was missing the dust jacket. I highly recommend this seller.

  • Over 1,000 pages of women solving crimes

    This well-priced, huge (over 1,000 pages) paperback collection of stories portrays a wide variety of female detective crime-solvers. Otto Penzler edited this book of crime mysteries by mostly well-known authors published from 1864 through 1992. Here are authors Agatha Christie, pulp writer Richard Sale, Julie Smith, Faye Kellerman, Sara Paretsky, David Durham, and Antonia Fraser. This collection makes interesting reading and an enjoyable gift for men and women. Recommended.
