Line 51:
* ''[[The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency]]'': Precious Ramotswe falls squarely into this category, despite the fact that she rarely solves murders, isn't all that old and is hardly little in the waist department.
** The same goes for another of Alexander McCall Smith's heroines, Isabel Dalhousie of ''The Sunday Philosophy Club''. Isabel is only in her forties, though, but is definitely nosy enough. One review has even described it in terms of tea and coziness.
* The ''[[Miss Seeton]]'' series written by Hamilton Crane and Heron Carvic and I think one other H.C.{{verify}} She is a retired art teacher and has an knack of drawing cartoons that see beneath the surface of character or event.
* Patricia Wentworth wrote 32 novels featuring retired governess turned private investigator Miss Maud Silver.
* Marion Mainwaring wrote a comic novel called ''Murder in Pastiche: or Nine Detectives All at Sea'' featuring pastiches of famous detectives. Miss Fan Sliver was an [[Expy]] of Miss Silver (with touches of Miss Marple) representing the whole school of Little Old Lady Investigates mysteries.
