Murder and mayhem by women about women

This collection of mystery stories by women is entertaining and challenging. They're mysteries by women and about women and I enjoyed them immensely.In the first story, "The Adventure of the Perpetual Husband," Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas solve the mystery of the Bluebeard of Paris, a real-life case that stumped Parisian Police in 1921. In another story, Christine Craighton overhears two men plotting a murder. She attempt to foil their plot, but it's hard to do without knowing who the intended victim is. In still another story, housekeeper Anna's wealthy boss is murdered and she becomes his avenger. Another tale is about a mother/daughter detective team who find a body in a spa and search for the murderer in an aerobics class. This is a collection of intelligent and well-crafted mysteries, perfect for a beach read or a cozy evening by a winter fire.
