Event information

Join Caitlin Davies at the first of our Crime Bites series for this special Zoom talk event. A history of the UK’s real-life female
detectives – from mid-Victorian era
to present day. Based on original research alongside interviews
with modern-day female investigators.
The female private detective has been a staple of popular culture for over 150 years, from Victorian lady sleuths to ‘busy-body spinsters’ and guntoting modern PIs. But what about the real-life women behind these fictional tales – what crimes did they solve, and where are their stories?
In Private Inquiries, Caitlin Davies traces the history of the UK’s female
investigators, uncovering the truth about their lives and careers from the 1850s to the present day.
