This anthology offers readers an exemplary sample of the hundreds of detective stories published in nineteenth century newspapers and magazines. All but two are stories published before 1891, before Sherlock Holmes appeared in America. The stories are categorized according to common motifs, including the largely unexplored field of women in late nineteenth-century detection. Revealing cultural intricacies that other kinds of fiction cannot, the literature presented here provides new insights into the history of the detective story.

Early American detective stories
In my mind, I'm not sure the Boston story qualifies as a murder mystery. Plus, the motivations of the victim's mother felt way too forced. That a mother always protects her child felt way too simple. I just kept thinking to myself - no one's really talked to the mother. And the police officers' judgment of the father went in the other extreme. Mother-good. Father-bad.
I was expecting some cross over between Boston and Santa Fe. Nothing - just people dying in separate cities.
In the Santa Fe story, there's a lot of back story that has nothing to do with the murder. Since it's so short, you feel like you get an awful lot of potential leads before the murder is solved. It eventually comes around, but it feels like a lot of chase more than anything.
