Miss Cora Strayer's Private Detective Agency

She truly deserves a novel, a biography, a biopic, and a TV series.

Paul Reda's webpage on Cora Strayer, as sparked vy an ad in [livejournal.com profile] vintage_ads. With thanks to [livejournal.com profile] boosette for the link to this Friday's fabulousness.

There is a series of novels about someone who is *like* her, at least in being an independent woman running a detective agency; the character Maisie Dobbs and the stories are extraordinary. I stole heavily from them when characterizing Dr. Grace Ironstone in a Yuletide story.
