A glittering New Year's Eve ball. A mansion full of secrets. And one jewel thief bold enough to strike in plain sight.
On the Rocks is the second book in the Kenneth Mayhew Cozy Mystery Series, a charming historical cozy mystery filled with wit, intrigue, elegance, and old-fashioned detective work.
Kenneth Mayhew is summoned to the grand New York mansion of one of society's elite with a most unusual assignment: prevent the theft of a priceless jewel before it happens. The warning is clear. The thief is clever. And the crime is planned for New Year's Eve, during a lavish costume ball where every guest will be hidden behind silk, feathers, masks, and deception.
With the dazzling Judith at his side and his loyal manservant Bentley never far behind, Kenneth must move quickly through a glittering world of champagne, gowns, gossip, and suspicion. Every guest has a costume. Every costume hides a face. And more than one person at the party may have a reason to want the jewel for themselves.
As midnight approaches, the danger grows. The thief has chosen the perfect setting, the perfect crowd, and the perfect moment to disappear into the celebration. But Kenneth Mayhew is not so easily fooled.
Can Kenneth, Judith, and Bentley expose the culprit before the clock strikes twelve? Or will New York's most audacious jewel thief begin the new year with the perfect crime?
Perfect for fans of historical cozy mysteries, country-house intrigue, clever amateur sleuths, elegant settings, and lighthearted mystery adventures, On the Rocks delivers a sparkling tale of masks, mischief, and murderously good fun.
