Jakubowski, Maxim (ed). 100 great detectives, or, the detective directory. London : Xanadu, 1991. ISBN: 1854800256

100 Great Detectives was published in 1991. Each essay discusses the detective and concludes with a bibliography of the detective’s work (of course, many of the bibliographies are incomplete as more books with some of the detectives were published after 1991). But the classic detectives–Holmes, Fell, Poirot, Campion–have complete bibliographies. I found the essays enlightening for the most part. If you’re looking for a directory of great detectives and their works, this volume will come in handy. How many of these great detectives are you familiar with?
