The Brenda and Effie Mysteries (series)

The Brenda and Effie Mysteries was a series of "gothic mystery" prose and audio stories, primarily written by Paul Magrs.

The series followed the adventures of the eponymous Brenda and Effie Jacobs, who, along with Whitby and its residents, have made numerous appearances within the DWU. Some notable instances include: the short epistolary story Brenda's B&B heavily referencing the events of the first few novels; Cleavis and the Smudgelings appearing in the second book Something Borrowed; and Panda appearing in Brenda and Effie Forever!, fleshing out his life prior to meeting Iris Wildthyme, first referenced in Wildthyme at Large.

The fifth book The Bride That Time Forgot acted as a sequel to Magrs' audio story The Boy That Time Forgot. The series received a spin-off Fellowship of Ink in 2017 focusing on characters first introduced in Magrs' 2002 BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

The first four novels were revealed to have fictional counterparts existing within N-Space, as penned by the N-Space equivalent of Paul Magrs, in the aforementioned Brenda's B&B.
