    About this series

    A young girl and her dog are on the hunt for stolen jewels and a saboteur in this mystery set in the theater world of Victorian London.

    “Isn’t 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.

      In Victorian England, a girl finds a mystery in a country manor: “Readers will enjoy sorting through the legitimate clues and red herrings.”—Booklist Twelve-year-old Maisie lives in her grandmother’s big boarding house, but now she and her dog Eddie are invited to join Maisie’s friend Alice and her high-society family on a trip to the country. It’s lovely to get away from the London smog, but there is something strange about the manor where the girls are staying. Odd noises, horrid smells, and sightings of a spectral cat keep them up at night… Has Alice's father rented a haunted house? There must be a logical explanation, and Maisie plans to use her detecting skills to find out what it is! This is another delightful mystery, with line drawings included, from the author of The Case of the Stolen Sixpence, which Publishers Weekly described as “[a] young Nancy Drew adventure by way of Downton Abbey.”

    Holly Webb started writing fiction almost by accident, when she was working as an editor. She wrote her first book on trains, and had to leave it on someone's desk with a note as she was too scared to say she'd written it. Since then, she's written many, many more and usually works on the sofa, which is much more comfortable than a train. She lives near Reading with her family and a cat.

      In Praise of Bossy Big Sisters

      Mar 3, 2017

      Like many young girls, I fell in love with the Little House series when I was about seven years old. What followed was two or three years of obsession; I read the books repeatedly, developed a fondness for long dresses, and regularly wore my hair in two braids. My grandma even made me two sunbonnets that I insisted on wearing everywhere in the summer, despite Laura Ingalls Wilder’s own hatred of them. But unlike a lot of young girls, I didn’t identify with the main character: the headstrong, outspoken Laura. Instead, I was more enamored of Laura’s big sister Mary. In many ways, Mary and Laura
