The Lady and the Yuletide Yegg (Lady Inventor Mysteries 8)
Pre-Order for Release on November 13, 2026
Some Christmas gifts should come with a return policy. Especially the ones hand-picked by a meddlesome mother.
Mineral Wells, Texas — Christmas Eve, 1925
Lady Anne Worthington is preparing for a perfectly unconventional Texas Christmas when her mother arrives from England bearing the one present Anne most definitely did not request: a suitor.
Detective Dockery is titled, respectable, impeccably British, and exactly the sort of man Lady Anastasia believes her daughter ought to marry. Anne would rather trust her own instincts, especially when they tell her there is more to the detective than his very proper wrapping suggests.
As if the Christmas party isn't going badly enough, Anne discovers one of the guests is the notorious yegg who's spent the last few days robbing local shops. But just as Anne is about to put an end to his crime spree, the elusive thief turns up dead behind a locked door.
The dapper Detective Dockery has a theory about what happened. Unfortunately, Anne has one of her own. With a killer hiding among the Christmas guests, she'll have to decide whether to give Mother's suspiciously perfect suitor a fair chance.
Can Anne unwrap the truth before the killer strikes again? Or will appearances prove deceiving in more ways than one?
