Jennie Baxter, Journalist

Jennie Baxter is a striking young journalist whose careful attention to dress and poise makes her a magnet for admiration wherever she walks. With corn‑gold hair, black eyes that seem to read a man’s thoughts, and a wardrobe supplied by the finest Parisian modistes, she balances the elegance of a society lady with the razor‑sharp mind of a reporter. Her articles on the season’s latest gowns have earned her a respectable place in the papers, yet she yearns for something beyond the predictable columns of fashion.

When Jennie steps out of her dressing room, a chance encounter with a humble porter sets her on a path that quickly pulls her into the bustling world of editors, officials, and whispered rumors about a princess’s missing diamonds. The intrigue deepens as she secures a nervous interview with a frightened civil servant, hinting at a mystery that could test both her investigative skill and her resolve. The opening chapters promise a lively blend of social charm and a budding detective story that will keep listeners eager for every turn.
