I see that the second series of "Frankie Drake Mysteries" starts on the Drama channel next Saturday. Made by the same producers as Murdoch Mysteries. As with that it's set in Toronto but in the 1920s. I saw the first series and it's an enjoyable series. Frankie Drake is the first female private detective there. The other main chararacters are her friend and partner Trudy Clarke and what is described as a morality officer Mary Shaw (the uniform she tends to wear is exceptionally attractive).

 

Not to be confused with the Australian series "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" set in Melbourne also in the 1920s. I only saw the first episode and, although some similarities, the character of Miss Fisher had zero morality.

 

A third series of Frankie Drake Mysteries has been commissioned. Of note is the first episode of that third series which is certainly worth catching when it's eventually shown. She visits England, and while there she helps Agatha Christie solve the disappearance and poisoning of an old friend from the war. And who is it playing the part of Agatha Christie - none other than Honeysuckle Weeks in her first television role for 3 years.
