Christmas at the Women's Hotel [Libby eBook] : A Biedermeier Story. HarperCollins, 2025. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. Format: OverDrive Kindle Book. HTML:<p><strong>New York Times bestselling author Daniel M. Lavery returns to the world of Women's Hotel in this delightful and heartwarming novella about one especially lively Christmastime at the Biedermeier.</strong></p> <p>Christmas at the Biedermeier Hotel means work. For much of the year, employment comes infrequently to Biedermeier residents. But during the Advent season, they're in high demand all over the city: as holiday window dressers, sales-girls at the card stores on Forty-Second Street, Broadway usherettes, assisting the Lincoln Center laundress at the Nutcracker, or working for Pinkerton as off-season security guards at the World's Fair.</p> <p>Katherine explores the possibility of reconnecting with a younger sister moving to New York. Lucianne goes into business for herself, running a telephone-order, strictly Social Register male escort agency out of her room, while Mrs. Mossler attempts to solve the mystery of the Biedermeier's skyrocketing phone bill and frets over Christmas tips for the hotel's few remaining employees.</p> <p>And while the three gem thieves who broke into the American Museum of Natural History have recently been apprehended, not all of the stolen jewels have been recovered—and Patricia and Carol have been behaving very strangely recently. Christmas is a season of wonder and mystery, after all.</p>. Historical Fiction. Literature. Fiction. Media Type: eBook.
