Violet and the Hidden Treasure
A holiday exploring India with Celeste leads Violet to a new clue when the Maharajah’s cockatoo enters the story. The bird, and the fortune tied to it, invites Violet into a puzzle that links etiquette, etiquette, and appetite for risk. Alongside her cat Pudding, she uncovers subtle leads and unexpected connections that steer the mystery toward a satisfying resolution.
