Catherine Louisa Pirkis
Catherine Louisa Pirkis (1839-1910) was a British author known for her detective fiction. Pirkis wrote fourteen novels and contributed to many magazines and journals, sometimes publishing under her initials, C.L Pirkis, to avoid gender discrimination. Later in her life, Pirkis transitioned away from her writing career to join her husband, Frederick Pirkis, in his fight for animals’ rights. Together, the couple founded an activist organization to save animals from cruel conditions. Their organization continues their advocacy today, and now goes by the name “Dogs Trust”.

Reviews for The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Catherine Louisa Pirkis who died in 1910,wrote several melodramas and this one volume of short stories. These seven stories which feature the early female detective Loveday Brooke are of considerable interest both to the general reader of crime fiction and to the more enthusiastic specialist.Brooke is employed by Ebenezer Dyer who runs a detective agency in London. This firm is frequently consulted by the official police (things just don't change do they ?) Loveday is most useful in working undercover in a variety of jobs close to the scene of the crime,where a man could not go. These are well written early stories in this ever popular genre.
