The Crimson Thread: An Adventure Story for Girls

The Christmas season transforms an ordinary department store into a theater of shadows and secrets. Lucile Tucker, a young clerk punching in for the holiday rush, stumbles upon a woman gliding through the store's darkened passages in an elegant crimson cape - and accidentally walks off with it. Now she's tangled in a mystery with dangerous edges and romantic complications, caught between her suspicions of wrongdoing and her growing feelings for the handsome Laurie Seymour. When her coat is found replaced by this costly garment, Lucile must choose: play it safe, or follow the crimson thread winding through the store's secrets. Snell crafts a breezy, atmospheric adventure where a working girl's curiosity becomes her ticket to excitement beyond the sales floor.
