A startling mix of True Crime, literary fiction, and noir, A Woman's Guide to True Crime captures one of America's best under-sung writers directly at the start of their ascent.
A collection unlike any other, each story in A Woman's Guide to True Crime features shocking historical events examined through the eyes of victims, killers, or the women left behind.
With emotional precision, an uncanny eye for fragility, and an all too grounded sense of unease, the sixteen stories in this collection explore what happens when the blood is washed away, examining everything from the after-effects of matricide in Milwaukee, to two cold, empty graves in Chicago, to a Missouri town where everyone witnesses a murder but keeps their mouths shut, to a Californian Christmas torn apart by a tumbling Cessna, to a small barn outside Hinterkaifeck, Germany, where the dead ask if you, too, heard that sound from behind the walls.
Featuring several award winning stories, including “The Book of Ruth” and “Casadastraphobia”, both selections for the renowned The Best American Mystery and Suspense, A Woman's Guide to True Crime plunges readers into the lives of the women at the center of some of the most mysterious and well-known criminal cases in history, then dares them to ask if the present is really any different than the past.
