A wonderfully wicked new anthology from the editor of The Penguin Book of
Gaslight Crime
It is the Victorian era and society is both entranced by and fearful of that
suspicious character known as the New Woman. She rides those new- fangled
bicycles and doesn't like to be told what to do. And, in crime fiction, such
female detectives as Loveday Brooke, Dorcas Dene, and Lady Molly of Scotland
Yard are out there shadowing suspects, crawling through secret passages,
fingerprinting corpses, and sometimes committing a lesser crime in order to
solve a murder.
In The Penguin Book of Victorian Women in Crime , Michael Sims has brought
together all of the era's great crime-fighting females- plus a few choice
crooks, including Four Square Jane and the Sorceress of the Strand.
