Summary

This collection of original stories from today's most successful, prize-winning writers of crime fiction proves that "irreconcilable differences" can't begin to describe the lethal results of a relationship gone wrong.
For this anthology, editor Lia Matera challenged contributors to use the phrase "irreconcilable differences" as a springboard for a story. These twenty concoctions of mystery and suspense move from sharp and probing to humorous and sly, fully evoking the theme of discord most deadly.
