Late nineteenth-century Newport, Rhode Island, is home to some of America's wealthiest citizens. For society reporter Emma Cross, a less well-heeled cousin to the illustrious Vanderbilts, trailing gossip and glamour will lead her straight into murder . . .

Emma's job is to take note of the real players off the field—Newport's well-bred elite. But the fashionable façade is breached when a woman demands to speak to the wife of Senator George Wetmore—until she is escorted off the grounds by the police.

The next morning, police detective Jesse Whyte asks Emma to meet him at the Wetmores's Bellevue Avenue home, Chateau-sur-Mer, where the senator's wife, Edith, has mysteriously asked to see her. Upon entering the mansion, Emma is confronted with a crime scene—the intruder from the polo match lies dead at the foot of a grand staircase.

Edith Wetmore implores Emma to use her reporter skills and her discretion to investigate. When Emma learns the victim was a prostitute—and pregnant—she wonders if the senator was being blackmailed. As Emma peels back layers of deception and family secrets, she may have met her match in a desperate killer who will trample anyone who gets in the way . . .

Down to earth. Old fashioned good values. Humor and great writing. From a different but beautiful age.

Love her books

Great story that kept me guessing. Enjoy this series. Love the characters. Love triangle predictable. Struggled with the change in narrator. Speaks way too fast.

Another outstanding historical mystery by Alyssa Maxwell!

Full of mystery, murder and a storyline that kept my attention from the beginning. A lot is happening with Derek and Jessie.

Have enjoyed this series!

Excellent

I was sorely disappointed when I started this book and there was a new narrator. Eva Kaminsky brought the character to life and I grieved for two or three chapters over the loss of those voices. Well, I love these stories, the new narrator doesn’t quite do the characters justice.

Another fantastic story

Do NOT like the way Lauren Ezzo reads, she is different reader than the first three books by Alicia Maxwell. Her voice inflection goes up at the end of sentences and on the wrong phrases which is very disconcerting. She did not invoke the emotion that previous reader of Alicia Maxwell's other books has done. I almost I had to stop listening to the book it was so awkward sounding.

Did NOT like reader, Laura Ezzo

I’ve liked all the previous books in this series but this new reader makes it hard to like the story. She has an awkward cadence, like she didn’t realize the sentence continued on the next line or page. Her inflection seems forced, not natural. Not sure if I’ll listen to any more in the series if she’s reading.

Narrator makes this hard to listen to
