Some of the stories focus on the intricate plotting that leads to murder while others deal more with the aftermath of the crime. The motives are varied--hate, jealousy, revenge, money, greed, or even the thrill of the act. In Roald Dahl's classic Lamb to the Slaughter, a jealous wife kills her unfaithful husband with a leg of lamb and then cooks him up for dinner before the dectectives arrive. Readers will revel in all the twists and turns and imaginative and surprising endings.
