+ Want to read

15 Stories of Female Sleuths from the Victoria Era to the Forties: Women detectives were solving mysteries more than a quarter-century before Sherlock Holmes, yet in the suspense genre, they have been as well hidden as the vital clue—until Michele Slung rediscovered these fifteen fetching heroines in corners of secondhand bookstores and on dusty library shelves. Reviewers in turn discovered and acclaimed Ms. Slung's book.
