Detection by Gaslight: 14 Victorian Detective Stories by Douglas G. Greene

3.0

Great collection of short detective stories from the Victorian era. Good mix of authors, plots, and concise intro of each author was helpful. Favorites included: The Haverstock Hill Murder by Sims, The Dead Hand by Freeman, The Eye of Apollo by Chesterton, and The Tragedy of the Liferaft by Futrelle. Unimpressed by Kipling's Return of Imray, and abandoned The Purple Emperor by Chambers.
