Warshawski’s Chicago in a case of music and murder . . . to the California freeway where Kinsey Millhone's beloved VW skids into a shooting . . . to the gang-held turf of Sharon McCone’s San Francisco, where an eye witness to a slaying says mum’s the word. And then there are mothers, grandmothers, battered wives, and social workers—ordinary women in extraordinary situations whose voices reveal contemporary life as seen through a woman’s eye.

My favorites, unsurprisingly, were by authors I already knew and liked: Paretsky, Sue Grafton, Marcia Muller, Julie Smith, and Dorothy Hughes. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed Muller's Sharon McCone and Julie Smith's Skip Langdon series back when I first read them. I've come to Dorothy Hughes more recently; her entry in this volume was true to her sometimes unsettling form. Carolyn Hart, an author I think I'd only read once previously, had a solid entry. One author who was completely new to me was Carolyn Wheat. Her story, Ghost Station, is an excellent character study with a murder attached. And Barbara Wilson's Theft of the Poet was a bit of feminist fun.
All in all, not enough to make a short story enthusiast of me (so often they just seem to get started with a great idea - and then it's over), but definitely worth the time.
