Description

A nobleman vanishes. A single hunting glove remains. In The Secret of the Fox Hunter, a country estate conceals more than just horses and hounds.

“He went out riding before dawn—and simply never returned. That, madam, is no ordinary disappearance.” – The Inspector

When a titled gentleman fails to return from an early morning ride, suspicion turns to the stables, the staff, and a peculiar rivalry buried beneath polite society. Featuring the sharp instincts of Miss Loveday Brooke—the first female detective in British fiction—this tale by Catherine Louisa Pirkis unravels a mystery laced with class tension, hidden motives, and a fox hunt that masked a far darker pursuit. With calm logic and quiet resolve, Miss Brooke uncovers a secret others refused to see.

This episode shines a spotlight on one of detective fiction’s pioneering heroines, delivering suspense and insight in equal measure.

Written and created by Catherine Louisa Pirkis.
