Book excerpt: ""It's a big thing,"" said Loveday Brooke, addressing Ebenezer Dyer, chief of the well-known detective agency in Lynch Court, Fleet Street; ""Lady Cathrow has lost £30,000 worth of jewellery, if the newspaper accounts are to be trusted."" ""They are fairly accurate this time. The robbery differs in few respects from the usual run of country-house robberies. The time chosen, of course, was the dinner-hour, when the family and guests were at table and the servants not on duty were amusing themselves in their own quarters. The fact of its being Christmas Eve would also of necessity add to the business and consequent distraction of the household. The entry to the house, however, in this case was not effected in the usual manner by a ladder to the dressing-room window, but through the window of a room on the ground floor - a small room with one window and two doors, one of which opens into the hall, and the other into a passage that leads by the back stairs to the bedroom floor....""

Book excerpt: When Loveday Brooke falls from her place in London high society, losing her financial security, she has no choice but to become a working woman. Set in the Victorian era, it is considered unusual and even shameful for a woman to participate in the workforce, but when Brooke proves her ability, no man can deny or ignore her talent. Beginning a career as a detective, Brooke becomes the go-to police consultant for any case that seems unsolvable. The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective is a collection of seven short stories, each portraying an individual mystery, varying crimes and intrigue. The Black Bag on the Doorstep is the first title in the collection, and follows a Christmas Eve robbery. Featuring a more heinous crime, The Murder at Troyte's Hill depicts a murder mystery after a local lodge-keeper is found dead in a ransacked room. Challenged with one of her most puzzling mysteries, Brooke attempts to find a young girl who vanished without a trace in the fan-favorite story, Missing. Unable to find a lead even after ten days of searching, the police are ready to give up, but Loveday Brooke is determined to reunite the girl with her family. With an original approach to the mystery genre, The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective was among Catherine Louisa Pirkis' most popular work. Often compared to Sherlock Holmes, Loveday Brooke remains to be a beloved and memorable character from the detective fiction genre, and is one of the earliest depictions of a woman working in the detective field in literature. With mysteries ranging from crimes of theft, murder, kidnap, and conspiracy, The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective provides a fun and fresh reading experience, as it has remained to be progressive and intriguing nearly one-hundred and thirty years after its original publication. This edition of The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective by Catherine Louisa Pirkis is now available in an easy-to-read font, and features a new, eye-catching cover design. With these accommodations, The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective is restored to modern standards while the original mastery of Catherine Louisa Pirkis' work is preserved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a young lady like Loveday Brooke doing in a private detective agency? She's working there, as a clever sleuth, a female Sherlock Holmes of sorts. Excerpts: "Loveday Brooke, at this period of her career, was a little over thirty years of age, and could be best described in a series of negations."She was not tall, she was not short; she was not dark, she was not fair; she was neither handsome nor ugly. Her features were altogether nondescript; her one noticeable trait was a habit she had, when absorbed in thought, of dropping her eyelids over her eyes till only a line of eyeball showed, and she appeared to be looking out at the world through a slit, instead of through a window. Her dress was invariably black, and was almost Quaker-like in its neat primness."But what one could say affirmatively about her was that Loveday Brooke was a naturally talented private detective, a chosen career that had cut her off sharply from her former associates and her position in society. She demonstrates her skills in these six short stories: The Black Bag Left on a Door-Step, The Murder at Troyte's Hill, The Redhill Sisterhood, A Princess's Vengeance, Drawn Daggers, The Ghost of Fountain Lane,

Download or read book The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective written by Catherine Louisa Pirkis and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-07-27 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This premium quality edition contains the complete original text of seven vintage mystery short stories, first published as a collection in 1894, in a newly edited and freshly typeset version. With a generous 6"x9" page size, this Summit Classic Press edition is printed on heavyweight bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. Page headers and modern page design that echoes the look and feel of traditional book publishing values exemplify the attention to detail given this volume. C. L. Pirkis...Catherine Louisa Pirkis (1841-1910) was a British author who published numerous short stories and 14 novels between 1877 and 1894. Best known today for her detective stories featuring Loveday Brooke, Pirkis, who published as "C. L. Pirkis" during her lifetime, was one of the earliest of many notable female mystery writers, and her creation, Loveday Brooke, was an early example of the formidable female sleuth mystery sub-genre. Loveday Brooke...By circumstances upon which Pirkis never elaborated, at about 24 years of age "Loveday had been thrown upon the world penniless and all but friendless." Discovering that she had no "marketable accomplishments," she embarked, for reasons never made clear, upon a career as a private detective, eventually coming to the attention of Ebenezer Dyer, head of a "flourishing" detective agency, who characterized his unconventional operative as having "so much common sense that it amounts to genius-positively to genius." Pirkis' stories include all the elements that fans of the classic "British" mystery expect-false identities, disguises, ciphers, secret messages, romantic entanglements, false clues and plot twists-but the occasionally unorthodox methods of the detective may be a bit unexpected. Relying more on deduction, intuition, and that "common sense" than upon minute scientific investigation of physical evidence, Loveday Brooke frequently surprises clients and suspects alike by making only the most cursory inspection of places and objects which would seem the most obvious, and important, possible sources of clues. But wrongdoers underestimate her at their peril, and clients, and occasionally colleagues, do so at the risk of personal or professional embarrassment, while generations of readers have enjoyed following along in The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective. This volume contains these classic mystery short stories, first published in "The Ludgate Monthly" in London, between February and July, 1893, with the exception of "Missing!" which first appeared iin the original edition of this book in 1894: The Black Bag Left on a Door-Step; The Murder at Troyte's Hill; The Redhill Sisterhood; A Princess's Vengeance; Drawn Daggers; The Ghost of Fountain Lane; Missing! This Summit Classic Press Edition is not an electronic scan or facsimile reproduction. The text has been formatted and edited by human editors. We have retained most antiquated, inconsistent, and "British" spellings, punctuation, and the like to preserve the integrity and flavor of the original work, rather than alter the material to conform to modern American conventions. Only obvious typographical misspellings and typesetter's errors have been corrected. The unabridged text of the 1894 compilation is faithfully reproduced in this volume. The cover illustration by Bernard Higham was among the illustrations which accompanied the stories in "Ludgate's", after the fashion of the British periodicals of the day, and originally appeared with "A Princess's Vengeance." Annotations, added sparingly by Summit Classic Press editors to aid modern readers, are not part of the original text.

It is used, I believe, as a sort of hat and coat room by the gentlemen of the house."
