List of Female Detectives
Published June 23, 2010 | 
Wiki has a great listing of female writers and female detectives in fiction. First you should view the listing of female writers of detective fiction by clicking here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_detective/mystery_writers The listing is arranged alphabetically and is quite long. There are some great information about the writers and a listing of the titles of their books. Some writers have more information than others of course. If you would like to add information on your favorite writer you might want to join the wiki community and add whatever you can that will help keep other readers informed.
They also have a listing of female detective characters. This list has female detective characters from novels, short stories, television, films and video games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_detective_characters. Sadly, there are not a lot of pages linked to each of these characters and wiki really could use some help beefing up those pages. So, if you see your favorite character on the list and it doesn’t have a link with more information then gather your data on your character and type it in so that we can all enjoy it. Wiki is a great resource created by all of us for all of us.
Updates to Websites
Published December 7, 2009 | We have been adding more and more things to the blog. We have added some pages with some great information as well as a bookstore of stories we will be talking about in future posts. This blog is for those who love women detective’s fiction as well as getting information of women detectives in real life. Most of us have some kind of fantasy of becoming a detective. Why not explore the possibilities in real life as well as fiction. Now a days we have some great writers who feature female detectives of all kinds. These authors feature different women becoming detectives with local police forces, government agencies and in private areas as well. Who hasn’t read Sue Grafton’s female detective Kinsey Milhone or James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club police detective Lindsay Boxer.
Checking over the various websites of my favorite authors I have to say that Sue Grafton’s Website is a spectacular example of PI efficiency. Check it out at: http://www.suegrafton.com/index.htm
It is way cool with the graphics, the layout and the information for an avid fan or a new comer as well.
James Patterson on the otherhand, writes about more than one character. His website space for the Women’s Murder Club is informative but just a straight website. http://www.jamespatterson.com/books_womens_murder_club.html There is some interesting tidbits about the characters that is always nice to read about.
Patricia Cornwell is another author that I like to read who has several characters she writes about but my favorite is the Medical Examiner, Kay Scarpetta, who is a brilliant detective in her own right. Her website is pretty great as well. Cool graphics and informative information keep her fans engaged. Her stories are great to read again and again. I like the earlier stories of this character better that the last few. Check out her site at: http://www.patriciacornwell.com/
Cheers and Keep on Reading
Welcome to Women Detectives Blog
Published November 12, 2009 | Welcome all those who love fiction with Women Detectives as the main character. There are several different types of women detectives in fiction. This Blog is for those of us who read, write or know a woman detective. We see them on TV, read about them in books and some of us will research them for books, tv or maybe even to become one. There are women detectives on the police force and their are women detectives in the private sector. We will be exploring all of them. If you are a writer of women detective fiction feel free to submit your stories for review. We hope to encourage more people to include more women detectives in mystery fiction as well as real life. We may end of concentrating in more one area or another but for now we will leave it open to all areas.
