Ostrá, legrační a nádherně pomatená sbírka povídek z tajemného světa rodinného krbu, Americká hospodyňka charakterizuje vražedkyně, které obědvají, lovce senzací a nejlepší podprsenka na jih od Mason Dixon.
Seznamte se s americkou hospodyní: maluje se, nosí šperky a opalovací krém, i když je zataženo. Jsou rozevláté, nezkrotné... Opatrně obejdou mrtvolu, aby mohly vytáhnout cookies z trouby. Těchto dvanáct neodolatelných příběhů nás zavede do činžáku na strašidelném předválečném Manhattanu na zfalšovanou televizní reality show, z knižní autogramiády budeme prchat s princeznou, z otevření galerie do legendárního obchodu se spodním prádlem. Zlomyslné, svěží a praštěné jako otrávené sušenky.
