A Murdoch Mysteries Parody. Maggie is the first woman and newest detective on the constabulary facing all of the challenges of being a super smart butch in a dress in 1910. It’s her first day on the job and Maggie is forced into the menial task of searching for a lost dog instead of finding a contract killer by the blatantly misogynistic/ethnocentric/homophobic sergeant.
