This collection contains 17 stories featuring Susan Holt, Libby Knowles, and Annie Sears. Hoch's ladies were often faced with seemingly impossible crimes—throat cutting in a locked room, shooting of giant cacti, murder in a giant hot air balloon, stabbing in a shower with no one present, poisoning of Chinese food as a last meal of a murderer, and more ingenious methods that will keep the reader guessing.
