Can the lady detectives escape the madness of the patriarchy?
1895 London: When Loveday, Katie, and Valeria (The Victorian Ladies’ Detective Collective) learn a perfectly sane woman explorer has been consigned to an asylum by her husband, they hatch a plan to set her free. At the same time, they investigate the mystery of who is stealing the explorer’s inheritance, piece by valuable piece. The woman’s husband insists it’s the serving girl, and all clues point that direction … but is that a ruse? This comedy/mystery explores what still can happen to those who defy society’s status quo.
