From Publishers Weekly
The 16 short stories in this collection (not exclusively centering on the murder of men, as the title might suggest) range from a farcical send-up of bookfairs and feminism (Barbara Wilson's " Murder at the International Feminist Bookfair " ) to Rebecca O'Rourke's detailed " Standing Witness, " which describes police procedure at a death scene as observed from a nearby window. Accomplished offerings from such familiar names as Amanda Cross, Sara Paretsky, Susan Dunlap and Margaret Yorke are matched by newcomers Penny Sumner, Sue Ward and Anne Stanesby--whose first published crime fiction appears here. Some standouts: Millie Murray's " A Blessing in Disguise, " written in a Jamaican/British dialect; Dunlap's " A Burning Issue, " similar in subject and style to Poe's " Telltale Heart " but with an outlandish comic twist, and Val McDermid's " A Wife in a Million, " which sensibly confronts unemployment and product-tampering while sensitively describing a lesbian relationship. Green edits crime fiction for The Women's Press in England.
