Sherlock Holmes was certainly the most famous detective of late Victorian and Edwardian fiction, but he was not the only one. He had plenty of rivals, and some of the most memorable were women. This intriguing anthology gathers together 15 stories of the era written by women or featuring female detectives—including Dorcas Dene, Lady Molly of Scotland Yard, Hagar the Gypsy, Judith Lee and Madelyn Mack—who could more than match their male counterparts.
