{"product_id":"9781412165570","title":"Lady Molly of Scotland Yard","description":"Best known as the creator of the daring \u003ci\u003eScarlet Pimpernel\u003c\/i\u003e, The  Baroness Orczy (1865?1947) ought also to be remembered for bringing to  life a trailblazing pair of detectives. One was the cranky Old Man in  the Corner, an early \"armchair\" sleuth. The other isn’t at all sedentary  (and is a lot more likable) — Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. Feisty,  brilliant, and beautiful; precursor of the lay sleuth who relies on  brains rather than brawn, Lady Molly, and her faithful sidekick and  admiring chronicler Mary, began appearing in Orczy’s entertaining  stories years before the first Englishwoman did in fact become an  officer of the law. These twelve clever, agreeably unportentous  adventures of \"my lady\" were unknown to us before acclaimed novelist  Alice Thomas Ellis brought them to our attention, and we’re most  delighted she did.","brand":"eBooksLib","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152220733680,"sku":"9781412165570","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412165570_p0.jpg?v=1763724813","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412165570","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
