Malice Domestic

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).

Following the success of Malice Domestic 1—recipient of the Agatha Award for Best Short Story and called "outstanding" by Publishers Weekly— acclaimed author Mary Higgins Clark serves a feast of original traditional mystery stories in classic Agatha Christie style. Featured writers include Amanda Cross, Frances Fyfield, and K.K. Beck.

Acclaimed Agatha Award-winning author Nancy Pickard presents this anthology of original mystery stories by some of the most distinguished mystery writers of the 20th century, including Dorothy Cannell and Sharyn McCrumb.

New York Times best-selling authors and recipients of the Mystery Writers of America "Grand Master" award, Mary Higgins Clark and Elizabeth Peters present this delightfully chilling assortment of original mystery stories. Featuring acclaimed contributors at the height of their games, this collection includes "Nice Gorilla," which won an Agatha Award for best short story.

Mystery Writers of America grand master Phyllis A. Whitney—author of more than 70 best sellers—presides over a salon of the wittiest writers of mystery in this fifth sparkling entry in the Malice Domestic series.

Esteemed mystery writer Anne Perry, author of more than twenty-five novels and two acclaimed detective series, heads up a delectable cast of writers, the very best from both sides of the Atlantic.

The ten mysteries included here are read by Stephanie Beacham, Christopher Cazenove, Reed Diamond, Judy Geeson, Patrick Macnee, and Emmy winners Juliet Mills and William Windom.
