Women on the Case

Sara Paretsky (ed.): Women on the Case (UK 1996)

From the Publisher:
Women's work is never done, as this brilliant and diverse collection eloquently demonstrates.
Sara Paretsky presents women's stories of crime and punishment on a global stage, with voices from home and abroad in a chorus whose individual voices celebrate women today and who take us from private eye purgatory to tourist's paradise, from the mean streets of despair to gilded hell in consumer heaven.

Ruth Rendell, Elizabeth George, Dorothy Salisbury Davis, Antonia Fraser, Sara Paretsky and Linda Barnes demonstrate their keen insight into the twisted byways of the human mind. Irina Muravyova shows what powers women may call on in order to survive. Nevada Barr digs too deep for lies to go undetected. Linda Grant turns to Shakespeare to solve a murder. Liza Cody depicts how a race to plastic surgery for a fresh face and an empty mind leads to oblivion.

Here indeed are Women on the Case, from favourite sleuths such as Jemima Shore, Carlotta Carlyle and V.I. Warshawski, to wives, mothers, lawyers, politicians, writers, professional assassins and more, in twenty-six tales that plumb the depth and breadth of a woman's art.

Sara Paretsky (ed.): Women on the Case. Twenty-six Original Stories by the Best Women Crime Writers of Our Time. Virago Press, ISBN: 1860491049 (December, 1997), 426 p., £16.99.

Women on the Case

Sara Paretsky (ed.): Women on the Case (USA 1996)

From the Publisher:
Women's work is never done, as this brilliant and diverse collection eloquently demonstrates. Sara Paretsky presents women's stories of crime and punishment on a global stage, with voices known and unknown at home and abroad. Familiar crime turf in America and England is expanded to Algeria, Russia, Germany, and South America. From wicked irony and white-collar crime in Amanda Cross's "The Baroness" to the chilling "Only a Woman," Algerian writer Amel Benaboura's English language debut, here is a chorus whose individual voices celebrate women today -- taking us from private eye purgatory to vacationer's paradise, from the mean streets of despair to gilded hell in consumer heaven.

Ruth Rendell, Elizabeth George, Dorothy Salisbury Davis, Antonia Fraser, Sara Paretsky, and Linda Barnes demonstrate their keen insight into the twisted byways of the human mind. Liza Cody's character races toward plastic surgery -- and oblivion -- in her desperation for a fresh face and an empty mind. Russian author Irina Muravyova, appearing in English for the first time, shows what powers women may call on in order to survive. Likewise Nancy Pickard's private eye, Angela Fopeano, who is between "A Rock and a Hard Place," dying of breast cancer and living with a client who has returned from the dead. And who knows what's "Beneath the Lilacs"? Nevada Barr's museum curator finds out as she digs too deep for lies...

Eleanor Taylor Bland's Asian-African college instructor plunges into a murder mystery to help unearth the truth of her own past... even as Susan Dunlap's dead-eye P.I. returns from purgatory to solve a case. Fittingly, Linda Grant's English teacher turns to Shakespeare to find her sister's killer -- with a tragic twist. Here indeed are Women on the Case, from favorite sleuths Jemima Shores, Carlotta Carlyle, V.I. Warshawski, and Andrea Smith's newcomer, Chicago Detective Ariel Lawrence, to wives, mothers, lawyers, politicians, writers, trained assassins, and more, in twenty-six takes that plumb the depth and breadth of a woman's art.

Sara Paretsky (ed.): Women on the Case. 26 Original Stories by the Best Women Crime Writers of Our Time. Delacorte Press, ISBN: 0385314019 (June, 1996), 367 p., $21.95.
