Lady Detective,[1] published in English as Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries, is a Korean manhwa series, written by Hey-jin Jeon and drawn by Ki-ha Lee.
She works as an author, writing the popular mystery series McMorning, Private Tutor and Sleuth for Gentlemen's Own magazine under the male pseudonym of Logica Docens.
Gray, reportedly the most competent policeman in the police force, and Andrew R. Kenneth, the president of Gentlemen's Own who gets annoyed by Lizzie's behaviour.
In fact, it leans way too hard on those attitudes, presenting Lizzie as a smart, independent woman who spends so much time fuming at her sexist contemporaries that it takes away from the story at hand.
"[5] A review of the series for the Anime News Network by Rebecca Silverman gave it an "A−" grading, but wrote critically about the use of clothing in the first volume saying: "Ki-ha Lee's artwork fits almost seamlessly into the world that Hey-jin Jeon evokes.
Another nice touch is that Lee occasionally uses portraits and photos from the Victorian era when discussing people or developments from history, reminding us that this story takes place in the real world rather than a facsimile thereof.
