"Downton Abbey meets Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries!" "Henrietta
and Clive are a sexy, endearing, and downright fun pair of sleuths.
Readers will not see the final twist coming." Library Journal,
starred review "Fans of spunky, historical heroines will love
Henrietta Von Harmon." Booklist, starred review "Henrietta and
Inspector Howard are the best pair of sleuths I've come across in
ages. A fantastic start to what is sure to be a long running
series." Tasha Alexander, New York Times bestselling author
Henrietta Von Harmon works as a 26 girl at a corner bar on
Chicago's northwest side. It's 1935, but things still aren't
looking up since the big crash and her father's subsequent suicide,
leaving Henrietta to care for her antagonistic mother and younger
siblings. Henrietta is eventually persuaded to take a job as a taxi
dancer at a local dance hall and just when she's beginning to enjoy
herself, the floor matron turns up dead. When aloof Inspector Clive
Howard appears on the scene, Henrietta agrees to go undercover for
him and is plunged into Chicago's grittier underworld. Meanwhile,
she's still busy playing mother hen to her younger siblings, as
well as to pesky neighborhood boy Stanley, who believes himself in
love with her and keeps popping up in the most unlikely places,
determined to keep Henrietta safe even from the Inspector, if need
be. Despite his efforts, however, and his penchant for messing up
the Inspector's investigation, the lovely Henrietta and the
impenetrable Inspector find themselves drawn to each other in most
unsuitable ways.
