Lady Molly Robertson-Kirk’s fiancée is framed for murder and sent to prison. This is the trigger that turns her into one of the best detectives at Scotland Yard. Whilst solving cases, utilising brain power rather than brawn, she constantly keeps an eye out for clues that will enable her to undo the injustice. This character was ground breaking when introduced and even today presents a model female succeeding in a still largely male dominated world.

Lady Molly of Scotland Yard (Literature of Mystery and Detection)

Ayer Co. Pub

Ensconced in a cozy corner of a London teashop, a nameless, shabbily dressed old man toys ceaselessly with a bit of string as he unravels the baffling crimes of the day for an admiring lady journalist. Relying solely on his vast Holmesian powers of deduction, the "strange looking" sleuth never deigns to visit the scene of the crime, question a suspect, or examine clues. Nor does he have much faith in conventional police methods and crime solving capabilities. "There is no such thing as a mystery in connection with any crime, provided intelligence is brought to bear upon its investigation."The 12 mysteries in this book are captivating. Which include; The Fenchurch Street Mystery, The mysterious death on the underground railway, The mysterious death in percy street, The Dublin mystery, The Glasgow mystery, The Liverpool mystery, The case of Miss Elliott, The Lisson Grove Mystery, The Tragedy in Dartmoor terrace, The Tremarn case, The murder of Miss Pebmarch and The affair at the Novelty Theatre.

Romance

The first and most successful in the Baroness's series of books that feature Percy Blakeney, who leads a double life as an English fop and a swashbuckling rescuer of aristocrats, The Scarlet Pimpernel was the blueprint for what became known as the masked-avenger genre. As Anne Perry writes in her introduction, the novel "has almost reached its first centenary, and it is as vivid and appealing as ever because the plotting is perfect. It is a classic example of how to construct, pace, and conclude a plot. ... To rise on the crest of laughter without capsizing, to survive being written, rewritten, and reinterpreted by each generation, is the mark of a plot that is timeless and universal, even though it happens to be set in England and France of 1792."
