Women writers in the 1930s in England were a special group, so they formed one. This group of top-notch mystery writers -- including Mrs. Agatha Christie -- were fast friends and feminists. In The Queens of Crime, they advocate for a missing girl who shows up murdered. They won't stop until they get some answers, and they won't let anything get in their way. This is a wonderfully written story about the power of friendship and curiosity.
