Two Birthdays, a historical mystery short story

June 22, 1899 One summer day (that just happens to be her birthday,) the dashing detective Daniel Price appears in the Price Investigations office where Minty Wilcox has worked as a stenographer/typist for about a year and carries her off to take notes on a new case the agency has been hired for. But once he starts filling Minty in on the details of the case, some of the information sounds strangely familiar. And she begins to wonder what he's really up to.

Praise for January Jinx, Book 1 in the Calendar Mystery series

The delightful, creative, and charming January Jinx introduces a terrific character in Minty Wilcox, a good old-fashioned cozy mystery persona who will surely be able to carry the planned-for series. It's Minty who drives the readable narrative, and author Juliet Kincaid keeps the pace steady and fast at the same time for quite a readable experience. The writing is appropriate for the historical setting without ever being gimmicky or archaic . . . The unique setting of 1899 Kansas City is full of flavor that never overwhelms the story and the characters. With a terrific, original, but still comfortable series concept, there are certainly big things afoot for Juliet Kincaid and Minty Wilcox's Calendar Mysteries.

A review of "Two Birthdays," a historical mystery short story

Enjoyed the unique historical details of the era and a day in the life of a working girl in historical KCMO. The undercurrent of tension between Minty and Mr. Price crackles as Minty goes about the business of extracting the details of the case of the missing moonstone brooch. A quaint tale of mystery and manners!
