Copies of Women Crime Writers: Eight Suspense Novels of the 1940s & 1950s are shipping this week (in advance of the September 1 publication date) and in tandem is the launch of the 2-volume set's companion website! Here is what you'll find there:
- An introductory essay, by [Sarah Weinman], to the two-volume set and the website
- A listing of notable suspense novels by women published between 1940 - 1975
- A chronology of film adaptations of the eight novels included in the set
- A photo gallery of book covers and movie posters
- biographical information on the authors and related links
- My tour schedule for the fall, which includes a kickoff event at Mysterious Bookshop on September 9 and events in October & November in Boston, DC, Raleigh, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, & Milwaukee featuring a bevy of special guests
- And last but most certainly not least, specially commissioned appreciations for each of the novels by eight of our most notable, commercially successful, and critically acclaimed crime novelists right now.

Great selection of mid-century writers (regardless of gender) and classic books!
Excellent. Thanks for the heads-up.
