Loveday (interesting name by the way) is called upon when the police are stuck with the most baffling mysteries. This book contains seven cases for Loveday to solve.
The best way I can think to explain what I read is that it's a female Sherlock. She doesn't tell anyone what she's up to and reveals everything in one, long speech at the end. She does things that seem inexplicable to those around her, but they make sense once she enters into "explanation mode." You're along for the ride. I was able to pick up on a clue here and there, but overall, you're not meant to solve these with her. You're not given enough information.
The stories are short and entertaining, but I didn't read anything that made them stand out from other mysteries of this type. Maybe if the explanations hadn't been quite so long, it would have been a bit better, but it wasn't terrible either.
