Written in 1893 during the height of Sherlock Holmes's popularity, a lady detective solves cases of stolen jewels, missing persons, and even murder...without letting her male colleagues slow her down!

During a time when ladies were expected to indeed be demure and mindful, Loveday Brooke took no bullying from any man. Going head-to-head with a rival investigator or toe-to-toe with a possible murderer, Loveday Brooke proves that a woman can do anything a man can, and oftentimes better.

Using a keen eye for detail, a wicked intellect, and human insight, she manages to solve crimes her colleagues can’t!

Loveday Brooke paved the way for Miss Marple, Nancy Drew, Kinsey Millhone, Precious Ramotswe, and many other feminine sleuths. See where it all began!
