Unknown Author

4.9/5 (30832 ratings)

Description:For more than a century, fictional female detectives have challenged the notion that the scene of the crime is no place for a lady.Lady on the Caseis a thrilling selection of classic and contemporary suspense stories in which damsels of deduction and hard-boiled heroines forsake home and hearth to walk the mean streets in pursuit of justice.The gaslight era of genteel crime-solvers who exercise their brains against criminal brutes is ably represented by Anna Katharine Green's " The Second Bullet," with its refines detective, Violet Strange, and by Baroness Orczy's "The Man in the Inverness Cape," in which Lady Molly's superior intellect lands her a plum position with Scotland Yard---and lands a diamond-snatching villain in jail. Agatha Christie provides the epitome of the golden age detective, Miss Jane Marple, who solves the diabolical mystery of "The Four Suspects" without leaving the comfort of the drawing room.This distinguished grouping of twenty-two tales features both amateur and professional sleuths---including a Catholic nun, a dime-a dance flapper, and the ex-school teacher of Stuart Palmer's full-length novel "Murder on Wheels" whose female perspective brings fresh insights to the study of criminal behavior. Whether single or married, the women of these stories are always engaged---in their detectively duties---equaling their male counterparts in cleverness and courage.Murder at Troyte's Hill / C.L.
