Unpunished

A Mystery

By Gilman, Charlotte Perkins & Golden, Catherine

Publishers Summary:
Charlotte Perkins Gilman's newly discovered last major novel spoofs detective novels and challenges the hidden shame of domestic abuse years before it was a public issue. Wade Vaughn, a sadistic attorney, is murdered by five different methods--and leaves behind a long list of potential perpetrators. Detective team Jim and Bessie Hunt pick their way through their investigation, turning up a surprise heroine, disabled Jacqueline "Jack" Warner, whose journal--Gilman-style (The Yellow Wall-Paper)--reveals not only Vaughn's final moments but also the abuse that has been hidden in his family despite the deaths of two of its female members. A historical landmark, a mystery, a comedy, and a social statement, all in one!
