The Tiara Mystery — Karen Meyer

Stolen silver. A crash in the night. What is happening at Russell House? Claire Russell's family will be evicted in two months if Papa can't pay the bank. He says to trust the Lord, but Claire is desperately worried. When her twin brother Reuben writes a play, he and Claire enlist their boarders, their neighbors, and young Orville Wright to act in it. The Countess has so much enthusiasm for her role as the Queen, she even agrees to wear her valuable tiara as a part of her costume. Will the ticket sales be enough to save the family's Victorian boarding house? One by one strange things continue to happen until the night of the play, when the biggest catastrophe of all unfolds. When the thief catchers, Claire, Reuben, and Orville, unite to follow the thief's trail, they face some big surprises. Can Mr. Drummond be trusted? And will Claire ever learn to give her fears to God?
