You Buy Bones: Sherlock Holmes and his London Through the Eyes of Scotland Yard by Marcia Wilson
4.0
I thought I had read everything by Marcia Wilson when it was available online many years ago but I've now realized that I had never completed this fascinating novella.
Marcia Wilson has the inordinate talent for research and description without pedantry. I feel as if I know more now about Victorian Era policing--it's quirks and differences from modern times, even from its past. Best of all, I don't feel like I know too much about Victorian Era policing. I don't feel overwhelmed with information.
And it's a really good story too. Grave robbery, murder, secret rooms, fire. What's not to like?
