A missing inheritance at the Hawthorne manor

During a River Heights thunderstorm, Nancy befriends Raye Hawthorne, a young heiress grieving her mother. At a party hosted by Raye’s aunt, the family jewels disappear—an inheritance tied to the future of Raye’s childhood home. The suspect list includes a troubled teen, a housekeeper with access to the safe, and an unexpected guest. Nancy’s investigation turns the gathering into a mystery with personal stakes for her new friend, as clues point toward a larger adventure. The setup brings together a country-house theft, questions of access and trust, and a friendship formed in the aftermath of loss.

A NANCY COZY MYSTERY FOR ADULT READERS OF THE ICONIC TEEN SLEUTH

 

During one of River Heights' notorious surprise thunderstorms, Nancy rescues and befriends a young heiress, Raye Hawthorne. Orphaned after the recent loss of her mother, Raye is overwhelmed with grief. In an attempt to buoy her spirits, her aunt hosts a party at the family manor, which Nancy attends to support her new friend.

 

It's a night of dancing, gossip, and fun before a shocking discovery is made.

 

Raye's inheritance-the family jewels-have gone missing!

 

Without these jewels, Raye's family won't have enough money to keep the poor girl's childhood home.

 

But Nancy is on the case.

 

Could it be the troubled teen shoplifter Ty Blake? The seemingly friendly housekeeper who knew the code to the safe? Or perhaps the mysterious guest who was accidentally invited to the occasion?

 

The young, curious Nancy is determined to solve the mystery, but the clues lead to more than the culprit, ensnaring her in a harrowing adventure...
