Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A high-society summer. A missing ring. A romance put to the test.
Henrietta Von Harmon thought accepting Inspector Clive Howard's proposal was the hard part-until she discovers he's heir to a North Shore fortune and she's expected to spend the summer at his family's sprawling Winnetka estate. While Clive returns to an important case in Chicago, Henrietta must navigate the treacherous waters of high society under the withering gaze of his mother, who clearly thinks her son could do better.
Finding herself more at ease with the servants than the family, Henrietta becomes intrigued when an elderly housemaid claims her precious ring has been stolen. But what begins as a simple mystery to prove herself useful spirals into something far more sinister.
As Henrietta uncovers long-buried family secrets-including shocking revelations about her own mother's past-she and Clive must confront hard truths about the worlds that divide them. And when danger from their past resurfaces in the last place they expect, Henrietta must decide: Can she truly belong in Clive's world? And more urgently-will she survive long enough to find out?
Perfect for readers who enjoy clever historical mysteries featuring a fish-out-of-water heroine, an upstairs/downstairs class divide, hidden identity reveals, family secrets, a protective hero, an amateur sleuth heroine, and an opulent estate setting.
Fans of Downton Abbey who love a good mystery-with plenty of romance and a dash of 1930s atmosphere-will devour this series.
