(2020)(Book 19 in the Clara Fitzgerald Mystery series)
A novel by Evelyn James
Christmas is just around the corner, but private detective Clara Fitzgerald is not feeling very festive. She has a troubling case to solve - the mystery of who really shot Jao Leong. Was she a victim of a police raid? Or did someone assassinate her? Jao's brother, arch-villain Brilliant Chang, will not rest until he knows the truth, and Clara is afraid of who might face his wrath along the way.
In the meantime, she has received a desperate plea for help to locate a missing tortoise. Edgar Malory is frightened his pet has been stolen. She finds herself stumbling into the curious world of reptiles, while trying to track down the absent creature before he freezes to death.
All this with the winter snows falling and the buses stopped...
As 1922 comes to a close, she must put all her energies into unravelling the truth, however bizarre or upsetting it might be.
The Trouble with Tortoises is the nineteenth book of the Clara Fitzgerald series.
