These four anthologies represent Elizabeth Peters’ work as an editor and contributor in the mystery short fiction world during the 1990s. Malice Domestic 1 (1992) was the first in a long-running anthology series tied to the Malice Domestic convention, which celebrates traditional mysteries in the style of Agatha Christie. Peters edited this inaugural volume, selecting stories from both established and up-and-coming mystery writers.

Historical Whodunits (1993) collects mystery stories set in various historical periods, a natural fit for Peters given her own work in historical mystery fiction. More Malice Domestic (1997) brought her back to the series as a contributor rather than editor. AZ Murder Goes… Artful (1997) is a regional anthology from the Arizona mystery community. Together, these books show Peters’ involvement in the broader mystery writing community beyond her own novels, particularly her support for the cozy and historical subgenres she helped popularize.
