edit data

Angela Buckley is a historian specialising in Victorian and Edwardian detectives, the evolution of crime investigation and forensic science, and the true crimes that shaped them. She has a PhD in the history of detective practice.
Her life in crime began with her own family. Whilst researching her family tree, she uncovered all sorts of shady ancestors, including petty thieves, poachers and even a brothel keeper in the dangerous Victorian slums of her home city of Manchester. During a break from her career as a modern foreign languages lecturer, she began to write about my family's past, which led to the publication of her first non-fiction history book, The Real Sherlock Holmes.
