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

4.0

This is precisely the sort of collection any classic mystery lover should have. Editor Leslie S. Klinger is working under the premise that Agatha Christie’s immense success (to this day) was due in part to a cadre of the female mystery writers who preceded her. Their work both carved out the hallmarks of the genre and created an environment where a woman writing about murder and crime could be taken seriously.
