A few years back Otto Penzler brought together seventeen excellent mystery writers and charged them each with writing a piece of short fiction to match the title of the anthology, Dangerous Women.
And so Jay McInerney takes us to Paris, and Nelson DeMille takes us to Viet Nam. And if I am going to read about a dead female in Los Angeles, well I do want Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch to be on the scene. And so it goes, these stories show us the evil that can (and often does ) lurk in the hearts of women.
Many of the stories are so nuanced that they are perfect re-reads. this anthology has a long life ahead.

Thanks you, Terrie! Another interesting book. After the holidays, I’ll have to dig in. Have a wonderful holiday!
Looks like a good collection. Thanks, Terrie.
This is a great book; I’ve borrowed it from the library before, but need to do so again, since I didn’t get to read all of the stories! A nice one to profile for FBF, Terrie!
Thanks, Terrie. I’m always looking for good anthologies to buy for my sister. This one fits the bill.
Sounds good. I want to read this one.
When you look at the list of authors on the cover, it ‘s obvious that this is a great anthology. So glad you all agree.
Sounds like a great book Terrie! Thanks for sharing.
