{"product_id":"2940148481812","title":"The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective","description":"What is a young lady like Loveday Brooke doing in a private detective agency? She's working there, as a clever sleuth, a female Sherlock Holmes of sorts. Excerpts:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Loveday Brooke, at this period of her career, was a little over thirty years of age, and could be best described in a series of negations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"She was not tall, she was not short; she was not dark, she was not fair; she was neither handsome nor ugly. Her features were altogether nondescript; her one noticeable trait was a habit she had, when absorbed in thought, of dropping her eyelids over her eyes till only a line of eyeball showed, and she appeared to be looking out at the world through a slit, instead of through a window. Her dress was invariably black, and was almost Quaker-like in its neat primness.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut what one could say affirmatively about her was that Loveday Brooke was a naturally talented private detective, a chosen career that had cut her off sharply from her former associates and her position in society. She demonstrates her skills in these six short stories:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Black Bag Left on a Door-Step,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Murder at Troyte's Hill,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Redhill Sisterhood,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Princess's Vengeance,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawn Daggers,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ghost of Fountain Lane,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMissing!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tower Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072673890544,"sku":"2940148481812","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148481812_p0.jpg?v=1763703341","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148481812","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
