Yeah, yeah, deadlier than the male.
Thanks then to Sarah Weinman, whose Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives: Stories from the Trailblazer of Domestic Suspense Paperback, reviewed in LARB by Cullen Gallagher, gives us stories by some of the best noir writers regardless of gender (but who happen to be women): Patricia Highsmith, Margarat Millar and Dorothy B. Hughes. As Gallagher concludes, “Weinman’s anthology is only the first word on the subject, and far from the last.” Amen to that.
