"Strange case" in the title seems to me to fix it to a just-about-getting-going genre ~~ post-Poe, post-BleakHouse; post-TheMoonstone; year before first Holmes, Study In Scarlet. Indications that intended to follow new fashion for mysteries, IMO. & Stevenson's surely-master work [tho unfinished], Weir Of Hermiston, has strong detective elements.
