Many aspects of British detective fiction are intriguingly different from the American detective fiction. And, confusingly, many of the British women detectives who have made it to American television are far from typical of the latest women detectives. This work is a study of British detective fiction with female protagonists written by women. Authors included are P.D. James, Jennie Melville, Liza Cody, Val McDermid, Joan Smith and Susan Moody. Special attention is paid to the evolution of the British female sleuth from the 1960s to the year 2000, particularly the 1980s, and how this shaped and altered detective fiction. Also discussed is the effect of the British judicial system and gun laws on detective fiction and real life, the types of crimes women detectives usually investigate, why certain directions have been taken and which ones may be taken in the future, issues being raised by the authors, and new women authors of detective fiction with female protagonists.

Tiffany Swanson doesn't want to solve murders, she just wants to play poker. But when she sees a crime scene through the eyes of one of her opponents, she finds herself all-in to catch a killer. Tiffany Swanson envisions big pots and big profits on her first day as a professional poker player. What she gets instead is the inside scoop to an unsolved murder. The image of the dead man comes to her in a flash—when she bumps into the victim's brother and picks up his memory of the crime scene. He's in Las Vegas with his buddies, celebrating his last weekend as a bachelor. Except right now he's doing more begging than celebrating as he tries to convince Tiffany to do some amateur sleuthing and help bring his brother's killer to justice. Tiffany intends to do nothing of the sort. She's not a police detective. She's not a private investigator. She's not even a true-crime aficionado. And she's definitely not telepathic—or so she's desperately trying to tell herself before she becomes another family black sheep like her kooky Vietnamese aunt Tuna. But all evidence indicates otherwise. And if there's a teeny, tiny chance she can help solve this homicide, doesn't she have an obligation to try? Hijinks and hilarity ensue when Tiffany reluctantly agrees to take on the case. But she's only got one weekend to figure out "whodunit" before all the suspects flee town—taking their deadly secrets with them. For fans of cat cozy mysteries with psychic and paranormal elements, clean murder mystery series, Asian American amateur women sleuth detectives, #ownvoices mixed race heroines, cozy mysteries with cats, casino mystery fiction, quirky characters, psychic amateur gumshoe investigator, murder investigations, big city crime fiction, and fun, humorous fiction set in Las Vegas.

When the dead man's float isn't for survival . . . Kat Harper's morning workout takes a sinister turn when she discovers the lifeless body of Ellie Higgins in the gym pool. All evidence points to murder, and the amateur detective soon finds herself submerged in another homicide investigation. With her exercise plans derailed, Kat heads to the victim's house to take Ellie's newly orphaned Maine Coon cat into protective custody. But she receives her second surprise of the day when she inadvertently interrupts a burglary in progress. Is the break-in related to Ellie's murder, or did an opportunistic thief merely decide to take advantage of the late homeowner's permanent absence? Kat's not sure, but she's determined to find out. She had better be careful though. When the killer realizes Kat is getting close to uncovering the truth, the small-town sleuth's New Year's resolution to get into shape may turn into a death sentence. And, unfortunately for Kat, this is one time when her cats won't be around to save her. All of the Cozy Cat Caper Mystery books can be enjoyed as standalones but will be better appreciated as part of the series. The books are light, fun cozy mysteries featuring an animal-loving female amateur sleuth, lovable and not-so-lovable quirky characters, and a page-turning mystery that needs solving.

“A unique and inherently fascinating history that brings a particular aspect of the role of women in law enforcement up out of obscurity.” —Midwest Book Review The 1857 Divorce Act paved the way for a new career for women: that of the private detective. To divorce, you needed proof of adultery—and men soon realized that women were adept at infiltrating households and befriending wives, learning secrets and finding evidence. Over the course of the next century, women became increasingly confident in gaining work as private detectives, moving from largely unrecognized helpers to the police and to male detectives, to becoming owners of their own detective agencies. In fiction, they were depicted as exciting creatures needing money and work; in fact, they were of varying ages, backgrounds and marital status, seeking adventure and independence as much as money. Former actresses found that detective work utilized their skills at adopting different roles and disguises; former spiritualists were drafted to denounce frauds and stayed to become successful private eyes; and several female detectives became keen supporters of the women’s suffrage movement, having seen for themselves how career-minded women faced obstacles in British society. Sister Sleuths seeks to shed light on the groundbreaking women who have worked over the past century and a half to uncover wrongdoing and solve crimes. “The book is well-researched and provides numerous examples of women who either dabbled in investigation or made it their life’s work.” —Historical Novel Society “Absolutely enthralling stuff.” —Books Monthly

The true story behind the iconic fictional detective is “a fascinating chapter in the history of publishing” (The Seattle Times). An Edgar Award Winner for Best Biography and a Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year The plucky “titian-haired” sleuth solved her first mystery in 1930—and eighty million books later, Nancy Drew has survived the Depression, World War II, and the sixties (when she was taken up with a vengeance by women’s libbers) to enter the pantheon of American culture. As beloved by girls today as she was by their grandmothers, Nancy Drew has both inspired and reflected the changes in her readers’ lives. Here, in a narrative with all the page-turning pace of Nancy’s adventures, Melanie Rehak solves an enduring literary mystery: Who created Nancy Drew? And how did she go from pulp heroine to icon? The brainchild of children’s book mogul Edward Stratemeyer, Nancy was brought to life by two women: Mildred Wirt Benson, a pioneering journalist from Iowa, and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams, a well-bred wife and mother who took over her father’s business empire as CEO. In this century-spanning, “absorbing and delightful” story, the author traces their roles—and Nancy’s—in forging the modern American woman (The Wall Street Journal). “It’s truly fun to see behind the scenes of the girl sleuth’s creation.” —Publishers Weekly “As much a social history of the times as a book about the popular series . . . Those who followed the many adventures of Nancy Drew and her friends will be fascinated with the behind-the-scenes stories of just who Carolyn Keene really was.” —School Library Journal “Sheds light on perhaps the most successful writing franchise of all time and also the cultural and historic changes through which it passed. Grab your flashlights, girls. The mystery of Carolyn Keene is about to begin.” —Karen Joy Fowler

'Private Inquiries is a must-read – a riveting mythbuster, with its revelations of the real histories of women PIs.' – Val McDermid The female private detective has been a staple of popular culture for over 150 years, from Victorian lady sleuths to 'busy-body spinsters' and gun-toting modern PIs. But what about the real-life women behind these fictional tales? Dismissed as 'Mrs Sherlock Holmes' or amateurish Miss Marples, mocked as private dicks or honey trappers, they have been investigating crime since the mid-nineteenth century – everything from theft and fraud to romance scams and murder. In Private Inquiries, Caitlin Davies traces the history of the UK's female investigators, uncovering the truth about their lives and careers from the 1850s to the present day. Women like Victorian private inquiry agent Antonia Moser, the first woman to open her own agency; Annette Kerner, who ran the Mayfair Detective Agency on Baker Street in the 1940s; and Liverpool sleuth Zena Scott-Archer, who became the first woman president of the World Association of Detectives. Caitlin also follows in the footsteps of her subjects, undertaking a professional qualification to become a Private Investigator, and meeting modern PIs to find out the reality behind the fictional image. Female investigators are on the rise in the UK – and despite the industry's sleazy reputation, nearly a third of new trainees are women. After a century of undercover work, it's time to reveal the secrets of their trailblazing forebears.

This is a 8,000 words CLEAN story with an HEA. Whole Serial is part of a bigger plot. Check for other books in this serial. Officer Tara Winter finally comes clean to her partner, Officer Michael Frante. She tells him what she's learned about the man she believes to be the strangler, and what she has discovered the FBI already knows about him. The government agency is covering something up, and all signs point towards Foyet, Illinois as the center of the corruption. The officers take a leave of absence to go on a vacation...but will their vacation be any less bloody than a day on the job? ---------------------------------------------------------- EXCERPT FROM BOOK Three girls had been found. None of them with ID. All of them out of his jurisdiction. He'd initially called state CID, but the FBI showed up and took things out of his hands. He didn't mind. Morgan wanted nothing to do with this. And then the fourth body came. A local girl, Barbara Flint. She was a chubby, shy girl who kept to herself. The sheriff insisted on letting her mother know himself. "She's got nobody else in the world," Morgan explained to the Fed, his sheriff's hat in his hand. "You can talk to her after, but let me be the first." "We've got some of the most expert..." "Do you think I don't know how to talk to a grieving mother?" the sheriff burst out, unexpectedly angry. "I know how to do my job! More than I can say with certainty about you folks. What have you done since you've been here? Tell me, what have you done? Another girl has showed up dead, and she's one of mine, and you want to tell me about expertise? How about putting some of that expertise to good use and find this sonofabitch who killed Barb Flint." The sheriff put his hat back on his head with force, and stomped out of the station to go and inform Maddie Flint. He stepped out of his bronco and shut the door. There was a light on in the Flint house. Through the gauzy shade on the kitchen window, he could see Maddie Flint making breakfast. She was dancing around her kitchen, singing by the looks of it. Sheriff Morgan Hemsley put one foot in front of the other until they stood on her doormat. He rang the bell. AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a story with an HEA.
