Ladies and gentlemen, my friend, the esteemed Miss Dorothy Cecil, is a young woman who is difficult to describe in words.
As you already know, she is a female detective. What I would add is that she is the most extraordinary young woman I have ever met.
- Edmund Savile
In this age when carriages and automobiles share the roads, people have heard of Sherlock Holmes and the great detective Hercule Poirot. But who is Dorothy Cecil?
Oh! That aristocratic young lady who made the newspapers.
A female detective? Never heard of one. Can a woman really be a detective?
Of course!
[Hello, I'm Dorothy Cecil, your detective. If you're in trouble, please write to Savile House, and I will be glad to help you.
P.S. If you happen to meet a tiresome fellow who also happens to be a writer, please don't talk to him. Thank you.]

[Female Detective X Male Writer] [Unrestrained troublemaker X Flustered temporary guardian who can't even curse]
[The male lead is constant, the supporting men come and go]
[The romance will be bumpy, referring to the male lead]
A few things to know before reading:
1. Inspired by George Sand and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, but has no plot connection to either.
2. I will try to respect historical facts. Detectives from the same period may appear, but in any case, this is an alternate-universe fan work.
3. I haven't thought of anything yet, so I'll leave this blank for now!
Theme: Women can become whoever they want to be.
