Publisher's Description of The Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins Book 2: The Case of the Vanishing Emerald
"Isnt it a bit strange that all these horrible things are
happening to Miss Massey now... Just in time to make her think that the
curse is working."
Sarah Massey, talented lead actress
in Circus Sweethearts, is a mess. She should be dancing on air—after
all, her boyfriend just proposed. But she has lost his gift: a beautiful
emerald necklace with a storied history. Rumor has it whoever loses the
necklace will be cursed, and now everything around Miss Massey is
falling apart. She turns to Maisie Hitchins and her dog, Eddie, for
help. But when Maisie shows up at the London theater, things only get
stranger. Maisie begins to wonder if it's really the lost emerald
causing all of these problems, or if someone in the troupe is green with
envy . . .
This follow up to the Case of the Stolen Sixpence is the second book in The Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins series.
