A Spying Eye by Michelle Cox
Mixing Romance and Mystery in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!' 'A fun and spunky heroine, a plot involving an old castle in Strasbourg make this a fast-paced, delightful read.' - Rhys Bowen, New York Times best-selling author 'A fabulously entertaining novel, start to finish.' - Hall Ways, Lonestar Literary Life 'Romantic, sexy, and fulfilling. Henrietta and Clive Howard finally live out their unbridled passion for each other's intellect and charm - while solving a case!' - Rebecca Rosenberg, author of Champagne Widows Clive and Henrietta return to Europe in an attempt to resurrect their failed honeymoon. While in London, they are approached by their old friend, Inspector John Hartle, who convinces them to search for the missing panel of the Ghent Altarpiece, a famous Renaissance painting, of which Hitler's top men are also in pursuit. Meanwhile, back in Chicago, Oldrich Exley threatens to cut off financial support for the entire Von Harmon brood if Elsie continues with her plan to marry Gunther - a situation made worse by the sudden appearance of one Heinrich Meyer, who claims to be little Anna's father and threatens to take her away. Desperate, Elsie seeks the help of Clive's sister, Julia, who is herself the victim of domestic abuse and who has fallen under the spell of a handsome Texas millionaire bent on acquiring a rare painting from the Howard collection. Clive and Henrietta's search takes them to Chateau du Freudeneck in Strasbourg, France - the ancient seat of the Von Harmons and home to three eccentric distant relatives. What begins as a wild goose chase turns decidedly more deadly when several Nazi officers also arrive at the chateau in search of a 'valuable item.' When Henrietta and Clive attempt to flee after Henrietta uncovers a shocking truth, they are forced to trust themselves to a suspicious French servant who seems all-too willing to help ...
2023 Independent Press Awards Distinguished Favorite in Mystery
Michelle Cox is the author of the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series, which has won numerous awards, as well as Novel Notes of Local Lore, a weekly blog dedicated to Chicago's forgotten citizens. She feels she may have lived in the 1930s and, having yet to come across a working time machine, has resorted to writing about it as a means of transporting herself back in time. Kirkus, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and a slew of other publications have commended her books, so she might be onto something. Michelle, unbeknownst to most, collects board games she doesn't have time to play and, predictably, is addicted to period dramas and big band music. There's also marmalade.
