After her husband's death in World War I, Fleur's surprising
inheritance takes her deep into the past-and could unravel a
mystery surrounding a cursed opal, a gnarled family tree, and a
sinister woman in a green dress. 1919: After a whirlwind romance,
London teashop waitress Fleur Richards can't wait for her new
husband, Hugh, to return from the Great War. But when word of his
death arrives on Armistice Day, Fleur learns he has left her a
sizable family fortune. Refusing to accept the inheritance, she
heads to his beloved home country of Australia in search of the
relatives who deserve it more. In spite of her reluctance, she soon
finds herself the sole owner of a remote farm and a dilapidated
curio shop full of long-forgotten artifacts, remarkable preserved
creatures, and a mystery that began more than sixty-five years ago.
With the help of Kip, a repatriated soldier dealing with the
sobering aftereffects of war, Fleur finds herself unable to resist
pulling on the threads of the past. What she finds is a shocking
story surrounding an opal and a woman in a green dress. . . a story
that, nevertheless, offers hope and healing for the future. This
romantic mystery from award-winning Australian novelist Tea Cooper
will keep readers guessing until the astonishing conclusion. Praise
for The Woman in the Green Dress: "Refreshing and unique, The Woman
in the Green Dress sweeps you across the wild lands of Australia in
a thrilling whirl of mystery, romance, and danger. This magical
tale weaves together two storylines with a heart-pounding finish
that is drop-dead gorgeous." -J'nell Ciesielski, author of The
Socialite A USA TODAY bestseller Full-length historical fiction
