The Stillwater Tragedy Author:Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Written in 1880, this book is believed to be the first time a detective appears in English Literature. The author was a poet, which sometimes shows in the fluid style of his scenery description. It is a pleasant story, which reads as part Detective fiction, part Victorian romance. The prose is clean and crisp, which makes it easy to follow.
