New Releases by Charles Somerville

Three female detectives (amateur and professional) from early mystery fiction (1910s-1930s) are showcased in this volume. Lady Can Do is a full mystery novel involving a social secretary caught up in a murder investigation. Alice Royce, Girl Detective is a collection of newspaper serial stories with a clever protagonist. The Adventures of Edda Manby introduce a thoroughly self-sufficient young woman who doesn't look for trouble, but isn't afraid of it either. Additional detective and mystery classic reprints are available from CoachwhipBooks.com.
