Jane Bee

Jane Bee is the name of a fictional character, the protagonist of several murder mystery novels by the Canadian author Douglas Whiteway (under the penname C. C. Benison). In each one, a murder takes place at one of Queen Elizabeth's estates, and Her Majesty asks Jane to solve the crime, giving her some clues and helpful information as she goes along.

Jane is a young woman from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, whose father Steve is a retired Mountie; her mother Ann is a journalist, and she has two older sisters (all back in Canada) and a great-aunt Grace who lives near London. Jane was staying with Grace when she answered a newspaper ad for a job and thus became a maid on the royal staff.

Later, Jane, married and styled Lady Kirkbride, makes a cameo appearance in C.C. Benison's 2011 novel Twelve Drummers Drumming, and takes a larger role in his 2013 novel Ten Lords A-Leaping.

gollark: <@!456204633275236352> Please unclaim your Chorus City claim. It's an unused thing in a busy part of it and I need room for street sign control.
gollark: It is close enough.
gollark: Well, we could stream news direct to the street signs' spare pixels, but keanu complained.
gollark: If you didn't write one, I can just write my own inefficient priority queue thing, don't worry.
