"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."--Publisher.

Suspense fiction.
