This volume has been in my TBR for ages. I was starting to remember the stories in Bibliomysteries edited by the same author, so I switched to this volume.The introduction by O.P. tells the history of the female detective in literature, which was fascinating.The book is divided by eras- the first being “The Victorians and the Edwardians (British).” I just finished the first story in this section, “The Mysterious Countess,” quite a fun read.
