The Victorian Mystery Megapack: 27 Classic Mystery Tales

by Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle, Arthur Morrison, Anna Katharine Green, Susan Glaspell

Overview

The theme of this Megapack is classic mystery and crime fiction from the Victorian era. We have taken the liberty of extending the qualifying publication dates to the end of World War I, since that event marked more of a turning point in world literature than the advent of the Edwardian Age. Certainly the spirit of Victorian crime fiction continued beyond Queen Victoria. This volume contains 25 stories and 2 bonus novels, offering hours of reading pleasure.
