Before Sherlock Holmes


Book Description

Traditionally, the history of detective stories as a literary genre begins in the 19th century with the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Emile Gaboriau and a handful of other writers. The 19th century was actually awash in detective stories, though many, like the so-called detective notebooks, are so rare that they lay beyond the reach of even the most dedicated readers. This volume surveys the first 50 years of the detective story in 19th century America and England, examining not only major works, but also the lesser known--including contemporary pseudo-biographies, magazines, story papers, and newspapers--only recently accessible through new media. By rewriting the history of the mystery genre, this study opens up new avenues for literary exploration. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.




The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes


Book Description

"Joanna Blalock's keen mind and incredible insight lead her to become a highly-skilled nurse ... When she and her ten-year-old son witness a man fall to his death, apparently by suicide, they are visited by the elderly Dr. John Watson and his charming, handsome son, Dr. John Watson Jr. Impressed by her forensic and deductive skills, they invite her to become the third member of their deductive team. Caught up in a Holmesian mystery that spans from hidden treasure to the Second Afghan War of 1878-1880, Joanna and her companions must devise an ingenious plan to catch a murderer in the act while dodging familiar culprits, Scotland Yard, and members of the British aristocracy"--




The Hotel Westend


Book Description

In the lone hotel on top of the cliffs a curious group of guests has been assembled by an unknown host. What's even more puzzling is that not even the guests seem to know why. All, however, were suspects in an unsolved murder twenty years earlier, and at the historic Hotel Westend, murder-like history-has a tendency to repeat itself.
