Description
The history of female detectives in the UK has never been told like this before. For over 150 years, women have been portrayed as fictional characters in popular culture, but what about their real-life counterparts? In "Private Inquiries", Caitlin Davies uncovers the stories of the women who solved crimes and built careers as investigators. From shop detectives to modern-day private investigators, Davies sheds light on the lives and careers of these pioneering women. She follows in their footsteps, undertaking a professional qualification to become a Private Investigator and shadowing contemporary PIs to understand what it's really like to be paid to gather information. With a unique blend of research and immersive storytelling, Davies brings to life the fascinating stories of women who broke the mold and forged their own paths.
