Synopsis

Before Miss Marple or Phryne Fisher, there was Lady Molly — one of literature's very first female detectives. In Lady Molly of Scotland Yard, Baroness Orczy presents a groundbreaking collection of stories featuring a brilliant woman investigator working at Scotland Yard in Edwardian London. Lady Molly, with her keen intellect, sharp intuition, and unconventional methods, solves baffling cases that leave her male colleagues perplexed. Whether unraveling crimes of passion, theft, or murder, she proves that wit and determination can outmatch brute force. Told through the eyes of her loyal assistant, these tales combine mystery, suspense, and proto-feminist flair, making Lady Molly of Scotland Yard a landmark in detective fiction and an inspiration for generations of women sleuths to come.
