Synopsis

Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A missing masterpiece. A Nazi conspiracy. A European escape turned deadly.
Clive and Henrietta Howard’s return to Europe takes a dangerous turn when Inspector John Hartle recruits them to find a missing panel from the famous Ghent Altarpiece. Nazi agents are also hunting for this Renaissance treasure, believing it contains a coded map to ancient weapons of unimaginable power.
Their search leads to Château du Freudeneck in Alsace, ancestral home of Henrietta’s eccentric Von Harmon relatives. But when Nazi officers arrive at the remote château seeking a “valuable item,” what began as an art recovery mission becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse through the treacherous French countryside.
Meanwhile in Chicago, Elsie faces an impossible choice when a mysterious couple threatens to take little Anna away, while Julia, trapped in a troubled marriage, finds unexpected hope in a charming Texas rancher who wants more than just a painting from the Howard collection.
As danger closes in from all sides and family secrets surface, Clive and Henrietta must decide who they can trust in a world where nothing is as it seems. But in their race to keep the panel from Nazi hands, will they discover they’ve been playing the wrong game all along?

I am a fan of this series. It is one of the best historical fiction series I have read in a long while. With each book I grown so much closer to the characters that I no longer look at them as characters in a story but as family. Clive and Henrietta just get better and better. While, they have done......more

A Spying Eye is the sixth book in the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series by Michelle Cox. I absolutely LOVE this series and this book is so fantastic.
