Murder at Chateau sur Mer (A Gilded Newport Mystery)

Late nineteenth-century Newport, Rhode Island, is home to some of Americaâ€™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 . . .
Â
Covering a polo match for the Observer, Emmaâ€™s job is to take note of the real players off the fieldâ€”Newportâ€™s well-bred elite. But the fashionable faÃ§ade is breached when a woman in gaudy clothing creates a scene demanding to speak to the wife of Senator George Wetmoreâ€”until she is escorted off the grounds by the police.
Â
The next morning, police detective Jesse Whyte asks Emma to meet him at the Wetmoresâ€™ Bellevue Avenue home, Chateau sur Mer, where the senatorâ€™s wife, Edith, has mysteriously asked to see her. Upon entering the mansion, Emma is confronted with a crime sceneâ€”the intruder from the polo match lies dead at the foot of a grand staircase.
Â
To avoid scandal, Edith Wetmore implores Emma to use her reporter skills and her discretion to investigate. When Emma learns the victim was a prostituteâ€”and pregnantâ€”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 . . .
