Malice Domestic 1

Distinguishing the personal and private aspects of crime from the public and impersonal, Malice Domestic 1 is a collection of mystery tales from such masters of the genre as Diane Mott Davidson, Caroline G. Hart, Charlotte MacLeod, and Sharyn McCrumb. The perpetrators in these stories don't murder for the fun of it (serial killers), for misguided ideals (terrorists), or for pay (hired hit men). They only do in people they know and love—or hate—in these stories: “Happiness Is a Dead Poet” by Sharyn McCrumb “Henrie O.'s Holiday” by Caroline G. Hart “Take Care of Yourself” by Janet LaPierre “The Perplexing Puzzle of the Perfidious Pigeon Poisoner” by Charlotte McLeod “The Ties That Bind” by L.B. Greenwood “Night Visitor” by Audrey Peterson “The Jersey Lily (or Make Me Immortal with a Kiss)” by P.M. Carlson “The Cottonwood Creek Caper” by Diane Mott Davidson
