Overview

One Gold Ring is a nostalgic festive novella in the Century Cottage Cozy Mysteries series. Set in December 1984, one year after Mistletoe and Murder, find out what happens when Marge takes her eyes off a very special ring for only a moment. A busy shopping street, a cozy coffee klatch, a missing ring: Marge Kirkwood has no desire for anyone to gift five gold rings to her. She just needs to find one elegant gold ring sparkling with dainty diamonds and rubies: the one that was stolen due to her carelessness. When Marge Kirkwood meets her friend Bruce Murray at the Honey Pot diner to reassure him about his choice of an engagement ring for her best friend Lois Stone, she couldn't be happier for the couple. But a few moments of her inattention could scupper Bruce's plans for a romantic Christmas proposal. A cunning thief seizes the opportunity Marge's lapse affords to snatch Bruce's family heirloom. Soon afterwards Lois arrives and joins Marge and Bruce in the search for the ring. Three heads may be better than one or two but Lois can't find out that it's her engagement ring they are hunting for. And so the week before Christmas begins with dashing through the snow without a sleigh, tangy gingerbread muffins and cinnamon scented apple cider, clever calico cats, slippery snow-sheathed sidewalks, glittering gems set in gold, hazardous high-heeled boots, rushing thieves and bustling Christmas shoppers set against a cheerful holiday clad shopping street, sultry Christmas songs serenading shoppers in the market, the sweet scent of carnations, roses and baby's breath bouquets in the florist's window and a mantlepiece twinkling with shiny baubles and lights woven through holly in a comfy century cottage. The Century Cottage Mystery series is mainly set in rural Ontario, Canada during the early 1980s.
