The Trixie Belden Mystery Series/Trixie Belden Fan Club ad - Pink Panther 47 Gold Key comics October 1977 17 - The Mystery of the Uninvited Guest 18 - The Mystery of the Phantom Grasshopper - Trixie and her friends investigate the disappearance of a beloved weather vane in Sleepyside. 19 - The Mystery of the Unseen Treasure Trixie Belden is the title character in a series of "girl detective" mysteries written between 1948 and 1986. The first six books were written by Julie Campbell Tatham, who also wrote the Ginny Gordon series, then continued by various in-house writers from Western Publishing under the pseudonym Kathryn Kenny. Today the rights to the series are owned by Random House. Beatrix "Trixie" Belden is a young teen living just outside the fictional town of Sleepyside-on-Hudson, in the Hudson Valley area of New York. She lives at Crabapple Farm, which had been in her family for either three or six generations, with her parents and three brothers, Brian, Mart, and Bobby. The first book establishes her friendship with lonely, sheltered rich girl Honey Wheeler, whose family has just moved into the Manor House next door and soon the girls are embroiled in their first case. Throughout the series, the two girls solve mysteries that baffled authorities and, along with brothers and friends, form a club called the Bob-Whites of the Glen, have adventures, travel (though not as extensively as Nancy Drew, an older and more sophisticated girl sleuth), and struggle with school. Trixie has particular difficulties with math.

Hello librarians, I don’t know if you already made a post about this but I was wondering if there are some stories where Jack and Phryne are together and Rosie is jealous?

Green-Eyed Monsters

There definitely are! And we’ll recommend some fabulous ones, ranging from wistful to petty, just as soon as we have a little aside.

We, as librarians, are not here to judge anyone for their reading preferences. However, there are some jealous Rosie fics that we are not comfortable recommending due to the deeply misogynistic undercurrents in those stories that run so very counter to the spirit of the show. If that is the level of jealousy you’re looking for, these stories do exist, more heavily on fanfiction.net than ao3, but we won’t be including them in this post.

Now, as for the fics we do suggest…

The Messenger (2013) by girldetective – The mark was placed with calculated precision. Low enough on the neck that the bearer would think it hidden by his collared shirt, high enough that it would be revealed when he turned his head to beckon the waiter.“Rosie? You’re…staring at my neck.” Jack said.Rosie examines the evidence.

A Lot Can Happen in ¾ Time (2014) by CollingwoodGirl – Jack has been invited to Melbourne’s grandest charity ball.Will Jack wear a tux? Of course! Will Rosie be insufferable? Pretty likely. Will Phryne charm all in her wake? Naturally. Will Jack dance? You’ll have to read to find out.Standalone. Set between ‘Dead Air’ and 'Unnatural Habits’.

When Ever the Twain Shall Meet (2015) by Sarahtoo – Rosie, Jack, and Phryne consider their relationships to each other. Chastely. This isn’t that kind of story.

Envy (2019) by ifwednesdaywasaflowerchild – While waiting for a train to her sister’s, Rosie witnesses the reunion of Jack and Phryne, upon the dark-haired detective’s return from England, and sees what she hadn’t been able to see before.

Another Woman’s Husband (2018) by CameraObscura – What if Rosie had suspected Jack of having an affair with Miss Fisher while they were still a couple living together. What if Phryne had actively tried to seduce a married Jack?

And after all the obstacles (2017) by RubyCaspar – Rosie is attending a garden party in Ballarat when she is introduced to fellow guest, Archie Jones.

Almost (2017) by orphan_account – Of course Rosie had heard the rumors about Jack and Miss Fisher, and rejected them out of hand. But a moment glimpsed at the Abbotsford / West Melbourne footy match gives her pause.

What Comfort in Truth (2017) by orphan_account – Rosie returns to Melbourne to testify at Sidney Fletcher’s trial and unexpectedly lodges for the night at Wardlow. While there, she asks Jack an uncomfortable question. My second entry for this month’s challenge prompt.

As always, if you have other suggestions for fics of this nature, please reply or reblog with the details!
