Reviews

[...]a fascinating, thought-provoking, and highly enjoyable read. The book should be required reading for students taking courses in crime fiction or late nineteenth-century culture: it is an invaluable corrective of the tendency to generalize about social developments of the time. But The Case of Sherlock Holmes will also attract a wide readership of Holmes enthusiasts and scholars of early genre fiction alike, all of whom are likely to encouter new insights into the historical world of the stories.--Penny Fielding, University of Edinburgh "Victorian Studies, 2019 "
