It is similar to Stop, You're Killing Me, but it only deals with periods of history...not locales, jobs, etc.  But, sometimes it is a bit more comprehensive than SYKM...I've found authors/books there that aren't listed on SYKE.  Always looking for new authors of Victorian mysteries for my dh and came up with a few there.  (altho, I'm not sure I like the time I grew up in being referred to as an "historical period"!!!!!!!)
