A Christmas at Highbury: A Henrietta and Inspector Howard novella

Clive and Henrietta return for Christmas!

Clive and Henrietta (and baby, Teddy!) return to Highbury to spend Christmas with the family. Clive’s mother, Antonia, schemes to increase her social standing at her club by introducing the pair during the annual Christmas ball as the newly minted Lord and Lady Linley. Her plans go awry, however, when the club’s collection of gifts for the poor mysteriously goes missing. Henrietta and Clive are reluctantly drawn into the case, though Clive suspects it is nothing more than a silly prank.

But when it is discovered that a young woman from the club is likewise missing a valuable necklace, the detective duo begins to wonder if the two incidents are connected. With every clue revealed, it seems more and more likely that one of the club’s most stalwart members may be involved. In order to get the gifts delivered to the neediest of the community on time, Henrietta and Clive race to unravel the mystery before Christmas day dawns . . .
