Sometimes it takes a woman’s intelligence and emotions to solve a city’s most dangerous crimes. That’s certainly the case with the title character in the Canadian period drama series, ‘Frankie Drake Mysteries.’ The eponymous hero, who’s played Lauren Lee Smith, is using her wit to solve crimes as Toronto’s first female private detective. Set in the 1920s, the show highlights Frankie’s success as she runs the all-female private detective service, Drake Private Detectives.
