Jane Carter Historical Cozies: Omnibus Edition
Alice SimpsonBook One: Peril at the Pink Lotus There’s a new dancing act down at the Pink Lotus Theater, but all is not well with the star of the show. Jane contends with a vandalized shop, a kidnapping, a huckster who claims he can speak to the dead, a doll with seemingly supernatural powers, and a stolen diamond necklace. What do all these crimes have in common? It’s up to Jane to find out. Book Two: Sinister Goings On in Room Seven Jane investigates a series of mysterious disappearances from a small hotel, a stolen houseboat, a bunch of counterfeit paintings, and a jewelry salesman on the lam. Book Three: The Missing Groom Jane attends a society wedding, but the groom goes missing just before the ceremony. Is the disappearance a simple case of cold feet, or is something far more sinister afoot. Book Four: The Oblivious Heiress Jane has her hands full getting out the inaugural issue of her very own Carter's All-Story Weekly Magazine, but she still finds time to investigate the activities of a cagey heiress, an attempted murder, and a band of sailors with mysterious matching tattoos. Book Five: A Country Catastrophe Jane investigates a clock tower that mysteriously strikes thirteen, a fatal car crash, and a gang of masked riders who appear bent on destroying the local farmers' melon crop. Book Six: Robbery at Roseacres Jane investigates the discovery of forged historical artifacts, the nefarious schemes of a pair of Texan grifters and the robbery of a priceless pearl necklace from an impoverished socialite.
