Product Description

Synopsis

Offers brief profiles of women mystery writers.


From the Author

why this book is helpful for mystery readers
Both Jean Swanson and I are librarians by training, and I have thirteen years' experience working in a mystery bookstore. Our book is designed to help mystery readers discover writers who fit their interests. Jean and I did extensive reading and research on 300 contemporary women mystery writers for this second edition of our book. In addition to profiles of each author, we offer recommendations for further reading. The book contains various indices: type of detective, geographical setting, and series characters. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mystery fan's must-have resource, 18 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: By a Woman's Hand: Guide to Mystery Fiction by Women (Paperback)
I have completely lost count of how many wonderful new authors I have discovered through this reference book. I love the fact that the authors don't give their opinions of each writer, instead leaving the reader to decide for themselves what themes and styles appeal to her. Very helpful, too, that they give the order of the first few of the authors works. A very worthwhile purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource!, 29 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: By a Woman's Hand: Guide to Mystery Fiction by Women (Paperback)
Very helpful reference if you want to branch out and try new mystery authors (women). Books are cross-indexed by locale of story, type of sleuth, etc. (E.G. if you like mysteries that take place, say, in the South, or if you like lawyer-sleuths, you can check the indexes in the back.)Also, the blurb on your favorite author gives suggestions as to similar authors you may not have read yet. Superb if you're not surrounded by friends who don't like mysteries who can recommend their faves.
