Lady Molly of Scotland Yard — the lady detective who out-Sherlocks Sherlock Holmes!Following twelve Lady Molly adventures and narrated by Lady Molly's assistant Mary Granard, “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” was first published in 1910. Orczy's female detective was a precursor of the lay sleuth who relies on brains rather than brawn, and she most often succeeded because she recognized domestic clues foreign to male experience. The book soon became very popular. Interestingly, as well as being one of the first novels to feature a female detective as the main character, Orczy's outstandingly successful police officer preceded her real-life female counterparts by a decade.Includes:THE NINESCORE MYSTERYTHE FREWIN MINIATURESTHE IRISH-TWEED COATTHE FORDWYCH CASTLE MYSTERYA DAY'S FOLLYA CASTLE IN BRITTANYA CHRISTMAS TRAGEDYTHE BAG OF SANDTHE MAN IN THE INVERNESS CAPETHE WOMAN IN THE BIG HATSIR ...
