The Unexpected Thief
(2024)(The second book in the Jane Holloway Mystery series)
A novel by Jenny Ashbury
When Jane Holloway moved to the quaint town of Mt. Pleasant, she expected a fresh start–not a mystery fit for a detective novel. Yet, just as she begins to settle into her new role as an English teacher, a baffling break-in sets the small town abuzz. Intriguingly, nothing valuable was taken from the ransacked house except for a cheap, tarnished necklace.
Jane's curiosity gets the better of her, and she enlists the help of her sister Sarah, an astute and kind-hearted woman with a knack for unearthing the truth. Together, the sisters delve into a web of secrets that the seemingly serene Mt. Pleasant harbors.
As they dig deeper, Jane and Sarah uncover clues that hint at a hidden past—one that involves their own family in unexpected ways. With each new discovery, the line between friend and foe blurs, and the sisters realize the necklace is more significant than it seems.
In a town where everyone has something to hide, can the Holloway sisters unravel the mystery before it's too late? Or will the darkness lurking beneath Mt. Pleasant's idyllic surface consume them both?
