About this listen
The Valentine Ball, the glittering social event of 1932 Boston. Who would want to spoil a debutante cotillion with a murder?
Nurse Aggie Burnside goes to Boston to assist her cousin Amanda with the final touches on the dazzling debutante presentation to raise funds for a major hospital. But it seems there are new obstacles every day: the budget gets cut, the band quits, the finance manager interferes and the hospital board members argue.
Despite the hurdles, the evening comes together without a hitch. And then someone is murdered, and a large amount of money disappears.
What was the motive—theft, a long simmering resentment, wounded ego, a mother seeking status for her son, a failing marriage, or are local gangsters involved?
Find out in the fourth book of the Berkshires cozy mysteries series, Murder at the Valentine Ball.
Buy Murder at the Valentine Ball and see if you can guess whodunnit.
