Publisher Description

A witty, wild anthology “filled with excellently plotted stories” of cooking, cleaning, and crime by some household names in mystery fiction (South Florida Sun Sentinel).

Join Nevada Barr, Barbara Collins, Carole Nelson Douglas, Eileen Dreyer, Vicki Hendricks, Suzann Ledbetter, Elisabeth Massie, Christine Matthews, Denise Mina, Marcia Muller, Sara Paretsky, Nancy Pickard, S.J. Rozan, and Julie Smith on a riotous ride through the dark but often hilarious corners of the housewife psyche . . .

In the expert hands of fourteen unsurpassed storytellers—including New York Times bestsellers and Agatha, Anthony, Dagger, Macavity, Shamus, and Edgar Award winners—being a housewife takes on a whole new meaning. Get ready for a lethal mix of meddling mothers-in-law, creepy neighbors, cheating husbands, fickle female friends, careers left behind, out-of-control kids, steamy sex, and much, much more in this thrilling collection of stories. Go behind the lace curtains and PTA smiles to explore the often mind-numbing reality of being a housewife. You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, you’ll nod in recognition as victims bite the dust—and domestic divas get their hands dirty.
