AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Crime stories, like 'gee-gees' run in al shapes. [sic] Some are frank tales of horror; some romances, with a murder discretely in the back ground, as the object in a sleuthing competition; and here and there is one shot through with humour and evidently not intended to be taken too tragically. In this third class is "The Clue of the Lisping Man."'
