This book is a classic, both within the canon of feminist mystery writing and as a wicked roman a clef. The late Carolyn Heilbrun's Kate Fansler series has some duds in it, but this book is outstanding, as are Sweet Death, Kind Death (one title) and No Word from Winifred. In addition to its other virtues, the book provides a sadly accurate picture of the fragmentation of the women's movement in the early 80's.
