Detective Stories – The Female Detective

The Detective has been a mainstay of fiction writing ever since we can remember. Their deductive powers, their intuition and fleet-footed grasp of every detail can often turn the unlikeliest situation, or bunch of red herrings, into a breakthrough to capture even the most ingenious and dastardly of criminals. In this series our classic authors explore not only various themes, such as Occult Detectives, Female Detectives, Curious Crimes and a whole host more, but also bring a range and depth to the whole culture of criminality as we send in the Long Arm of the Law to bring justice on behalf of the society it serves. In this volume our sleuths are all Female Detectives who solve crimes in ways that are familiar and yet refreshingly new. 1 - The Detective - The Female Detective - An Introduction 2 - Mr Bovey's Unexpected Will by L T Meade and Robert Eustace 3 - A Broken Trust by Elizabeth Corbett 4 - The Adventures of Lady Pearl-Broker by Beatrice Heron-Maxwell 5 - A Twin Identity by Edith Stewart Drewery 6 - The Stir Outside the Cafe Royal by Clarence Rook 7 - A Princess's Vengeance by Catherine Louisa Pirkis 8 - The Haverstock Hill Murder by George R Sims 9 - Conscience by Richard Marsh 10 - How He Cut His Stick by M McDonell Bodkin Q C 11 - The Frewin Miniatures by Baroness Orczy
