The Lady Detective Agency

Rebecca Jane started The Lady Detective Agency in 2006. She started it because she thought her husband
was lying to her. She told the police but they were not interested in helping her. She wanted to know the
truth. She followed her husband and discovered that he was lying to her about many things. A friend asked
her to help investigate her husband, and the Agency was born. “I never wanted to be a private eye,” says
Rebecca, “but the opportunity was there. Of course, I’m not the first female detective in the world – there are
many excellent female police detectives – but I think we are the first detective agency to only employ
women.”

The Agency has grown very fast, and now the company has offices in London, Manchester and Stockholm,
and has 15 employees. This year, the Agency opened a training school for lady detectives, and the classes
are very popular. Rebecca enjoys teaching other detectives, but mostly she enjoys helping her clients. “The
job is very interesting,” she says. “Every day is different. Tomorrow I’m going to help a man find his dog, and
then I’m going to the US on Friday for a new case.”

In the future, Rebecca Jane intends to open an office in the US. “I have an American client who asked me to
help find her husband. She came to me because there are no female detectives in the US, and she felt more
comfortable talking to a woman about her missing husband. There may be more women like her who need
our help.”
