description: In 1910 Toronto while other bachelor girls perfect their domestic skills and find husbands two friends perfect their sleuthing skills and find a murderer.Inspired by their fascination with all things Sherlock Holmes best friends and flatmates Merinda and Jem launch a consulting detective business. The deaths of young Irish women lead Merinda and Jem deeper into the mire of the city's underbelly where the high hopes of those dreaming to make a new life in Canada are met with prejudice and squalor.While searching for answers donning disguises and sneaking around where no proper ladies would ever go they pair with Jasper Forth a police constable and Ray DeLuca a reporter in whom Jem takes a more than professional interest. Merinda could well be Toronto's premiere consulting detective and Jem may just find a way to put her bachelor girlhood behind her forever--if they can stay alive long enough to do so.
