Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective por Catherine Louisa Pirkis
This was first published in 1893, so it was perfectly without anachronisms. The mysteries were cleverly solved by a Holmes/Marple combination of astute observation and logic.
These stories were first published in The Ludgate Monthly, London, February-July 1893, with the exception of "Missing", which was first published in book form as part of The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective, London: Hutchinson & Co., 1894.This is a collection of stories about one of the first female detectives. I found them to be delightful.
Not the first lady detective, but an early one; interesting short stories though with a rather mushy sentimental frame story.
Catherine Louisa Pirkis who died in 1910,wrote several melodramas and this one volume of short stories. These seven stories which feature the early female detective Loveday Brooke are of considerable interest both to the general reader of crime fiction and to the more enthusiastic specialist.
Brooke is employed by Ebenezer Dyer who runs a detective agency in London. This firm is frequently consulted by the official police (things just don't change do they ?) Loveday is most useful in working undercover in a variety of jobs close to the scene of the crime,where a man could not go.
These are well written early stories in this ever popular genre.… (más)
