Synopsis

Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A high-society summer. A missing ring. A romance put to the test.
Henrietta Von Harmon thought accepting Inspector Clive Howard's proposal was the hard part—until she discovers he's heir to a North Shore fortune and she's expected to spend the summer at his family's sprawling Winnetka estate. While Clive returns to an important case in Chicago, Henrietta must navigate the treacherous waters of high society under the withering gaze of his mother, who clearly thinks her son could do better.
Finding herself more at ease with the servants than the family, Henrietta becomes intrigued when an elderly housemaid claims her precious ring has been stolen. But what begins as a simple mystery to prove herself useful spirals into something far more sinister.
As Henrietta uncovers long-buried family secrets—including shocking revelations about her own mother's past—she and Clive must confront hard truths about the worlds that divide them. And when danger from their past resurfaces in the last place they expect, Henrietta must decide: Can she truly belong in Clive's world? And more urgently—will she survive long enough to find out?

★ “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

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I would like to first and foremost thank the author for a clean romance.

This book was interesting in several ways. The poor girl marrying rich boy story is always very nice and when it all ends happily even better. In this case our rich man never said he was actually filthy rich and heir to an estate. He was just a chief detective and that is how our girl met him, whils......more

This is my first introduction to this series. I did not feel like I missed much having not read the first book in this series. A good testament of how well a writer, Michelle Cox is, is the fact that despite having not read the first book, I easily connected with both Clive and Henrietta as a couple......more

This was the second book in the series and I thought it was a great story of Henrietta and Clive’s next chapter in their lives together. I think it is beneficial to read the books in order to really get history of all the characters since they and the storyline continue forward in the second book. T......more

Goodreads review by Carolyn on May 10, 2018

For me, the strength of 'A Ring of Truth' is in Ms. Cox's development of her characters and the relationships she creates among them. These relationships are for the most part highly believable and interesting, flawed (as relationships are) at times, but always these connections as family and family......more
