Reddit reviews Mrs. Sherlock Holmes

So, I finished Mrs. Sherlock Holmes by Brad Ricca, and I have to say if you like non-fiction books about badass people you probably never heard of, then this is the book for you. It's amazing I never knew of this great woman, it's sad hearing all the sexism and backlash she faced, and it's encouraging to see all that she overcame.

From Amazon:

>Mrs. Sherlock Holmes tells the true story of Grace Humiston, the lawyer, detective, and first woman U.S. District Attorney who turned her back on New York society life to become one of the nation's greatest crime-fighters during an era when women were still not allowed to vote. After agreeing to take the sensational case of missing eighteen-year-old Ruth Cruger, Grace and her partner, the hard-boiled detective Julius J. Kron, navigated a dangerous web of secret boyfriends, two-faced cops, underground tunnels, rumors of white slavery, and a mysterious pale man, in a desperate race against time.

It is relatively cheap to purchase, however I managed to find it at my local library so I saved $10.
