Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives: Stories from the Trailblazers of Domestic Suspense by Sarah Weinman
4.0
A delightful collection of old school mystery short stories, the kind I write sometimes but as far as I can tell there's no market for anymore. But I love them and Weinman's dutiful bio of each author gives insight into what you're reading. Shirley Jackson's "Louisa, Please Come Home" and Vera Casparay's "Sugar and Spice" were particular standouts.
The "domestic suspense" theme is uneven and I wouldn't apply it to some of the stories in this collection, but it's a good collection just the same. Worth a read.
