This is a collection of stories about the investigations of Loveday Brooke. Miss Brooke becomes a detective almost from the very beginning of the action-packed novel - “The Loveday Brooke Experience”. The lady detective is not too beautiful, not too young (oh, she’s already 30!), lonely and completely devotes himself to his work. Moreover, he clearly enjoys this work and enjoys unquestioned authority among the police. Unlike many other female detectives, Ms. Brooke usually investigates mysterious cases, hiding under the guise of a maid, cook, nurse, etc. The book was first published in 1894.
