Publisher's Synopsis
These collections of crime short stories are written by attendees to Crime & Publishment, yearly crime-writing workshops held in Gretna Green, the home of British weddings. A full list of the authors' biographies can be found at the end of each volume. In volume 1, we meet fools, dysfunctional families, spoilt brats, brides, monsters, and mobsters. There are trains, mud-holes, empty nests, battered vans, farmhouses and ornate rooms... and a variety of ways for the long-suffering to dispose of their spouses. All profits of volume one to 'Hearing Dogs for Deaf People'.
