“There’s a lot to love about the bloodhound couple at the center of this cozy mystery.”
―Foreword Reviews
“A 1930s Chicagoan love story with a heavy dose of thrilling mystery – we bet we have your attention. If you aren’t already addicted to Clive and Henrietta’s epic love story we recommend you indulge your imagination with the first book and then move on to A Ring Of Truth – the absolutely unputdownable sequel that centers around Clive’s mysterious fortune and strange wrath of his affluent family.”

“The crème de la crème of historical fiction, A Ring of Truth is the unpredictable mystery you’ll be reading and rereading for the rest of 2017.”

“Set in the 1930s, this romantic mystery combines the teetering elegance of Downton Abbey and the staid traditions of Pride and Prejudice with a bit of spunk and determination that suggest Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs.”
―Booklist
“Henrietta and Inspector Howard make a charming odd couple in Ring of Truth, mixing mystery and romance in a fizzy 1930s cocktail.”
―Hallie Ephron, New York Times bestselling author of Night Night, Sleep Tight
“Brimming with dark plot on every page, this unpredictable literary thrill ride will transport you to the heart of 1930s Chicago and the love story of a lifetime.”
―POPSUGAR
“A Ring of Truth is the second book in the delightful Henrietta and Inspector Howard series, but there’s plenty to dive straight into even if you haven’t read the last one.”
