Praise for "The Science of Sherlock Holmes"
"Holmes is, first, a great detective, but he has also proven to
be a great scientist, whether dabbling with poisons, tobacco ash,
or tire marks. Wagner explores this fascinating aspect of his
career by showing how his investigations were grounded in the
cutting-edge science of his day, especially the emerging field of
forensics. . . . Utterly compelling."
--Otto Penzler, member of the Baker Street Irregulars and
proprietor of The Mysterious Bookshop
"E. J. Wagner demonstrates that without the work of Sherlock
Holmes and his contemporaries, the CSI teams would be twiddling
their collective thumbs. Her accounts of Victorian crimes make
Watson's tales pale! Highly recommended for students of the Master
Detective."
--Leslie S. Klinger, Editor, "The New Annotated Sherlock
Holmes"
"In this thrilling book, E. J. Wagner has combined her
considerable strengths in three disciplines to produce a work as
compelling and blood-curdling as the best commercial fiction. This
is CSI in foggy old London Town. Chilling, grim fun."
--John Westermann, author of "Exit Wounds and Sweet Deal"
"I am recommending this delightful work to all of my fellow
forensic scientists. . . . Bravo, Ms. Wagner!"
--John Houde, author of "Crime Lab: A Guide for Nonscientists"
"A fabulously interesting read. The book traces the birth of the
forensic sciences to the ingenuity of Sherlock Holmes. A wonderful
blend of history, mystery, and whodunit."
--Andre Moenssens, Douglas Stripp Professor of Law Emeritus,
University of Missouri at Kansas City, and coauthor of "Scientific
Evidence in Civil and Criminal Cases"
