Maybe I have honed my senses on which R-A messages to
skim or maybe the skirmishes on the topic predate my arrival,
but I don't recall seeing much derision of women HB and noir
writers on this list. I scanned the archives as well for
evidence, but may have missed something.
Vicki Hendricks, Val McDermid, Denise Mina, Patricia
Highsmith are among my favorites and, with the exception of
Highsmith, I learned about them from the rave reviews on this
list.
