Sherlock Holmes’ female rivals!
This unique collection for connoisseurs of detection brings back six of the greatest fictional women sleuths of the era of gaslights and horseless carriages. Fans of Kinsey Milhone and other contemporary women detectives, as well as of Agatha Christie and Honey West, will love this collection featuring the foremothers of today’s fictional female crime-fighters.
Long out of print and unobtainable, these celebrated women ’tecs—Baroness Orczy’s Lady Molly of Scotland Yard, Anna Katharine Green's Violet Strange, Arthur B. Reeve’s Constance Dunlap, C. L. Pirkis’ Loveday Brooke, Valentine’s Daphne Wrayne, and Edgar Jepson and Robert Eustace’s Ruth Kelstern—were once nearly as famous as fictional sleuth of Baker Street himself. Their fame waned in the long decades of the 1930s through the ’80s, when, sadly, female sleuths took a backseat to Sam Spade, Nero Wolfe, and the like. But now they're back to baffle and thrill contemporary readers in The Legendary Women Detectives, edited by Jean Marie Stine.
