Classic detective short stories where science and forensics play a crucial role.

The problem is the science and forensics are so antiquated that it's really hard to stay in some of these stories. This is coupled with a lot of very stiff and pompous style stories. Overall very few are enjoyable so I'd give this particular anthology by the British Library Crime Classics a pass.
