Product Description

Synopsis
Renowned Victorians such as Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were the pioneers of crime and detective fiction, but they were by no means alone. In this definitive collection, mystery critic and historian Martin Radcliffe delves into the archives and presents some of the best and most influential short stories of the Victorian and Edwardian years. These are the tales of Masters (and Mistresses) of Mystery that inspired generations of writers and led to the creation of renowned detectives such as Lord Peter Wimsey, Sam Spade, Miss Marple, Lew Archer, Morse, Dalgliesh and Rebus. Thirty stories of crime and mystery from: Arnold Bennett, Max Pemberton, Edgar Allen Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens, Arthur Morrison, Sax Rohmer, William Le Queux & many others

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever Victorian Collection, 20 Jul 2005
By A Customer
Living up to its name, Masters of Mystery is the best and most complete collection of fiction written by the vintage masters of detection. Many of the stories are new to me and I thought my library was pretty complete. The introduction from Dr Radcliffe is informative and essential. If there were 6 stars available, this thick and meaty anthology would deserve them all.
