Description
Tart Noir, edited by Stella Duffy, is a bold and unapologetic collection of twenty crime stories featuring fierce, fearless, and delightfully wicked heroines. These women are part sleuth, part seductress—half Philip Marlowe, half femme fatale—and they’re every bit as dangerous as the men they face. From back alleys to high heels, from sharp wit to sharper weapons, each story dives into a world where justice and temptation walk hand in hand.
This anthology brings together an extraordinary line-up of crime and mystery writers, including Martina Cole, Val McDermid, Karin Slaughter, Jenny Colgan, Lisa Jewell, and many more. Their heroines break every rule in the book, blending noir grit with female flair in tales that range from hot passion to cold calculation. Every story bursts with attitude, intelligence, and just the right amount of mischief.
Tart Noir is perfect for readers who love crime fiction with a darkly comic twist, where strong women take charge, bend the rules, and prove that danger can be stylish.
