Unpunished: A Mystery

Gilman's first and only detective novel spoofs the genre as it deconstructs the murder of a pernicious attorney who has been shot, stabbed, bludgeoned, strangled, and poisoned! The feisty husband-and-wife detective team that solves the murder presents a model of true partnership, while the unfolding details of the case offer poignant evidence of the injustice that poor and powerless women can suffer at the hands of a brutal man.
