[Kitty Worthington Cozy Caper 02] • The Case of the Stray Stickpin

London. 1923. When Lord Marlowe’s jewel-encrusted stickpin goes missing at his gentlemen’s club, he seeks the services of Lady Emma Carlyle to find it for him. You see, it’s not just any stickpin, but a treasured family heirloom that his late father gifted to him. Lady Emma is more than happy to take the case as the Ladies of Distinction Detective Agency’s finances are shaky at best. With wit, charm, and not a small amount of daring, she navigates the complex social hierarchy of the club. To her surprise, she discovers a tapestry of intrigue, jealousy, and hidden agendas that lies beneath its veneer of gentility. Unwilling to stand aside, Lord Marlowe insists on assisting with the enquiry. A problem for Lady Emma. The forced proximity to the earl may very well derail the investigation. As the line blurs between professional duty and her attraction for Lord Marlowe, she makes a careless mistake. One that results in dire consequences. The Case of the Stray Stickpin , Book 2 in the Kitty Worthington Cozy Capers, is another delightful historical cozy mystery replete with intrigue, humor, and a dash of romance. Set in the glamorous world of 1920s London, it’s sure to delight readers of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey alike.
