Amazing Adventures of Letitia Carberry

In the early twentieth century, three improbable detectives proves that experience is the best ammunition against murder. Letitia Carberry, Aggie, and Lizzie are three spinster ladies who have absolutely no business solving crimes, which is precisely why they do so with such spectacular success. When a murder rocks a hospital and a mangy dog leads them down a trail of fleas and foul play, these intrepid women throw propriety to the wind and pursue justice through sheer audacity and an unshakeable talent for getting into scrapes. Rinehart, the mastermind behind the phrase "The butler did it," created a series that proved women of a certain age could be as cunning, brave, and wildly entertaining as any male detective of the era. The mysteries are devilish, the danger is real, and the humor lands with a sharpness that still cuts over a century later. For readers who adore cozy mysteries but crave something with more teeth, who delight in seeing authority figures confounded by unconventional heroes, and who believe that the best investigations happen over tea and stubborn insistence.
