      It really seems very unfair that the male Scarlet Pimpernel should be so famous and the female Lady Molly languish in obscurity. Of course the book isn't a paragon of modern feminism: Lady Molly is only in the detecting business for the sake of a man, and it's for his sake that she leaves it again. (Actually, before the last two chapters, I'd been cheerfully slashing Lady Molly and her Watsonian narrator/maid/friend Mary.) It is true that most of the stories are very slight, but they are a fun read, and should be better known.
    • 3/5
      In this collection of short stories Lady Molly mainly uses women's intuition to solve the crimes that Scotland Yard have failed at. As told by her maid and friend Mary Granard
      Enjoyed these stories, in particular the last in the book.
    • 4/5
      Very nice collection of short mystery stories. The ending was very unexpected, and I really liked it apart from the fact that there was an enormous plot hole (a man falls in love with his half-sister)! (I don't know how the author didn't notice that.)
    • 3/5
      Mystery stories with a sharp and intelligent female lead!
