I read primarily classic British detective fiction, the majority of which is written by women (eg Agatha Christie, P.D. James, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham, Ruth Rendell, Ngaio Marsh) and I have to say that I can find absolutely nothing in these books, when I compare them to comparable books written by male authors, to suggest that "a female mind" works any differently to a male mind. As I said in my previous post, it's the book that counts, not the gender of the author.
