Psst. Murderess Ink proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, that women in the mystery are round dead as often as men, commit just as many murders as men, make just as many wisecracks as men, drink just as much booze as men, and in the final analysis, the female is not only deadlier than the male, but wackier.

Snooping on:
~the shadiest ladies in mystery fiction--the nanny, the cook, the grieving widow, dear old mum
~the man who proposed to Miss Marple
~the knitting brigade
~the plot to immortalize Christie
~the hard-boiled skirts in the Chandler novels
~the crimes against Snow White

More than 50 fearless contributors, over 100 statements in the mystery's defense, enough mug shots to make Interpol jealous, and a bloody good time (in matching color).
