The Big Book Of Victorian Mysteries by Otto Penzler
An anthology of Victorian-era mystery and detective tales that transports readers to foggy streets, gaslit parlors, and remote country estates where amateur sleuths, professional investigators, and clever criminals collide amid Gothic atmosphere and sensation-fiction thrills; the stories—ranging from short pieces to novellas—explore domestic secrets, social hypocrisy, poisonings, locked-room puzzles, supernatural hints, and early forensic ingenuity, together tracing the evolution of the mystery genre and the narrative techniques that shaped modern detective fiction.
