The Problem of the Evil Editor
ByPublisher Description
It is winter in London, and the coal is running short. The chill on Fleet Street is so severe that the men who run the presses for
are too cold to work. Despite the freeze, their editor—the vile Mr. Bassett—will not spare a shilling for coal. He is behind on paying his employees, has been accused of stealing his writers' ideas, and refuses to hire any up-and-coming literary talent, be it Oscar Wilde or Arthur Conan Doyle. It is no surprise when the editor is found murdered. The question is, which of his enemies got to him first?
Doyle enlists Charles Dodgson—better known as Lewis Carroll—to look into the murder. When the police try to pin the killing on the slighted Mr. Wilde, it is up to Doyle and Dodgson to clear Wilde's name and find the true killer of the cruelest man on Fleet Street.

“It was frustrating to watch the creator of Sherlock Holmes miss the blindingly obvious clue that gave away the murderer's identity not even halfway through the book. I did enjoy the setting though and am interested to learn more about the Trafalgar Square riots and the evolution of British policing.
The book needed its own evil editor given an author's name is spelled two different ways in the history notes at the end of the book. I'm pretty sure a character switches names toward the end of the novel as well, but maybe I missed something since I read the book over a few days and zoned out a bit once I figured out who the killer was.”
