Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives: Stories from the Trailblazers of Domestic Suspense
- Used Book in Good Condition
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 charactersâ€”and their creatorsâ€”better than Sarah Weinman. One of todayâ€™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 whoâ€”from the 1940s through the mid-1970sâ€”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.
