Law and the lady
more books like this
by
Wilkie Collins
Valeria Woodville is one of English literature's earliest women detectives--that makes the novel historically remarkable. But it's also a great fun mystery, full of plot and circumstance, and a rogue's gallery of odd Dickensian characters. "The Law and the Lady" is as remarkable a novel today as it was when it was first published in 1875.
