Publisher Description

A daring debutante solves the crimes of upper-crust Manhattan in this groundbreaking story collection from the queen of American mystery

Violet Strange has a secret. A vivacious socialite, she is one of the most sought-after women in New York—as a private investigator. Between well-heeled excursions to the opera and fabulous dinner parties, Violet uses her lively charms to investigate the dark side of Gilded Age society. From the daughter of an important businessman accused of theft on a grand scale, to the suspected murder-suicide of the husband and child of a society woman, to the lost will of a financier whose death greatly affected the money market, Violet expertly sleuths out hidden clues, all the while protecting her secret identity. But the greatest puzzle of all may be what compels Miss Strange to undertake this outlandish work in the first place, and what it may afford—or cost—her in the end.
 
Originally published in 1915, The Golden Slipper is the debut entry in the Violet Strange series, often credited as first in the famed “girl detectives” mystery genre.

Interesting Period Piece

I read this mainly to see what a female mystery writer was about. It is definitely a piece of an era in the past, but it kept my attend.
