Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Housewife is certainly not the first word that springs to mind when glancing at the stellar list of contributors to this wide-ranging all-original anthology. Sara Paretsky, Nevada Barr, Marcia Muller, Carole Nelson Douglas, Nancy Pickard, S.J. Rozan and eight other women authors cook up or clean up a host of household problems. Barbara Collins's "Trailer Trashed" takes reality TV to a delightful new low; Denise Mina proves as chillingly adept in "An Invisible Minus Sign" as she is in her novels; Suzanne Ledbetter's "How to Murder Your Mother-in-Law" makes a strong case for justifiable homicide; and Eileen Dreyer's "Vanquishing the Infidel" only loosely qualifies as a crime story, but is perhaps the most heroic of any. There are cheating, abusive and just plain bad husbands and some very clever ways of disposing of them. Editor Matthews provides an amusing introduction. (Apr.)

From Booklist
Here's something for fans of the television series Desperate Housewives. Mystery writer Matthews has compiled a collection of 14 short stories from a group of celebrated women crime authors. Sarah Paretsky, Marcia Muller, S. J. Rozan, and others examine the inner workings of the female psyche as well as the minutiae of everyday life. The women in these stories battle boredom, infidelity, kids, and ruined careers as they deal with marriage and trying to survive another day. These delightful tales prove that there are many ways to remove a troublesome husband, seek revenge against those who have cheated, and deal with disrespect. Barbara Bibel
