5.0 out of 5 stars
From the inside flap, April 10, 2005
This review is from: Bejewelled Death (Hardcover)
Stacey Orpington boards the Boston-London plane carrying a Filene's hatbox, as do three other ladies, for the store had them on special, and they had proved quite popular. The difference is that Stacey's hatbox contains the priceless Orpington Bequest, a collection of jewelry bequeathed by her great-aunt to a local museum, now being loaned for exhibition in London, and for which Stacey is secretly acting as courier. Stacey had thought the jewels were well hidden, but she hadn't figured on the two irritatingly precocious fellow passengers, Marvin and Hortense, or the out of work actor accompanying them, who was hoping to deposit the two youngsters quickly with their respective parents. By the time the plane touches down at Heathrow, everyone aboard knows the contents of the hatbox, thanks to those two irrepressible children. And when Stacey finally reaches her hotel, she has the wrong box, and the fabulous Orpington Bequest has disappeared.
