| | Amazon.com: They Wrote the Book: Thirteen Women Mystery Writers Tell All: Books: Helen Windrath (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06) |
 | | Given her track record in publishing women's crime fiction, Windrath, senior commissioning editor and rights manager at the Women's Press in England, is well qualified to pull together this collection of essays (all but one of them original) about writing mysteries. |
 | | The 13 women, including Gillian Linscott, Abigail Padgett, and Marcia Muller (see The Booklist Interview on p.1596), encompass a variety of styles and approaches, and their comments on technique and on the genre itself are enlightening as well as entertaining. |
 | | Whether not-yet-published, or multi-published, any writer would benefit from having this neat little book close at hand whenever the muse says "Write something--now!" Thirteen women, writers of mystery novels all, offer their own unique opinions on a specific topic, valuable to a writer of any genre, not just the mystery/suspense field. |
