In the Shadow of Agatha Christie: Classic Crime Fiction by Forgotten Female Writers: 1850-1917 by Leslie S. Klinger

4.0

UPDATE: I had to DNF this a few months back because ~library returns~ and ~too many books.~

Sigh.

Will definitely return to this sometime, though!

So, seeing as I've only completed stories 1 and 2 as of yet, I'll save my final review for later. As of yet this anthology is shaping up to be a fine mystery anthology!

Introduction
A fascinating beginning, and a look into these forgotten women's lives. Thank you, Leslie S. Klinger, for bringing these women out of the shadows, because they deserve way more than they have been receiving.

The Advocate's Wedding Day
I positively ADORE this short story! I haven't read one this good in quite some time!
Spoiler Haunting the lawyer for "killing" his old enemy, and then killing the lawyer himself after tormenting his wedding week is apparently very much my cup of tea.
