# Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives: Stories from the Trailblazers of Domestic Suspense - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Sarah Weinman** (Editor)

**Fourteen chilling tales from the pioneering women who created the domestic suspense genre**

Murderous wives, deranged husbands, deceitful children, and vengeful friends. Few know these characters--and their creators--better than Sarah Weinman. One of today's preeminent authorities on crime fiction, Weinman asks: Where would bestselling authors like Gillian Flynn, Sue Grafton, or Tana French be without the women writers who came before them?

In _Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives_, Weinman brings together fourteen hair-raising tales by women who--from the 1940s through the mid-1970s--took a scalpel to contemporary society and sliced away to reveal its dark essence. Lovers of crime fiction from any era will welcome this deliciously dark tribute to a largely forgotten generation of women writers.
