    Storyline

    Edit
    Frankie Drake Mysteries follows Toronto's only female private detective in the 1920s as she takes on the cases the police don't want or can't handle. Along with her partner Trudy, Frankie and the Drake Detective Agency take on cases of all shapes and sizes. From airplanes and booze running to American G-men, Communists and union busters, Frankie's fearless sense of adventure gets her into all kinds of trouble, but she always manages to find her way out. —AnonymousB

    • Trivia
      As stated above, Brackenreid and Watts are featured in the Frankie Drake web series and yes the shows are set 16 years apart. However, anyone who watched the web series would know that both characters had been appropriately aged and background stories adjusted for the time period. Cons table George Crabtree is also featured in the Frankie Drake series in season 1 episode 8 The Pilot
    • Goofs
      In a couple of episodes locks are picked. The locks are warded but they use a pick and tensioner made for pin tumbler locks.

    Thoroughly enjoyable...
    Stylish Private Detective series, carried very amiably by a charming cast, in a light, Castle type 'not too serious' way, set in the 1920's with fun music, and excellent attractive settings, and with excellent costumes too - overall very much enjoyed, I hope it extends to further (and longer) series, which given the longevity of it's 'set earlier' stablemate, Murdoch, it really should. And good to see the main protagonists all Female....

    FAQ2

    • I am very interested in how this show and Murdoch Mysteries both feature young black women in careers I would not even think most women could hold for the times both shows are set. A detective and a coroner. If anyone has a good history book or place to research this, I am very interested in the historical aspect of this.
