A Veil Removed
(Henrietta and Inspector Howard, Book Four)
Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A suspicious death. A hidden letter. A secret worth killing for.
Their honeymoon abruptly ended by the untimely death of Alcott Howard, Clive and Henrietta rush back to Highbury. Though the police have ruled his father’s passing as accidental, Clive can’t shake the feeling that something is amiss. As he digs into the details of Alcott’s affairs, a troubling possibility emerges: his father may have been blackmailed. Despite his mother’s pleas to let the matter rest, Clive becomes determined to uncover the truth.
Meanwhile, at Henrietta’s urging, her sister Elsie enrolls at a newly opened women’s college in an effort to put her romantic troubles behind her. At first, she finds peace in the quiet, convent-like environment and even begins to contemplate a religious vocation—until a bookish German custodian challenges her to think for herself. Their budding friendship takes a troubling turn, however, when Elsie uncovers disturbing secrets from his past…
As long-buried truths come to light, Clive and Henrietta once again find themselves pitted against the infamous Neptune and his gang. What begins as a simple stake-out turns deadly when Clive vanishes. Can Henrietta piece the clues together in time—before it’s too late?
