Murder at Rough Point (A Gilded Newport Mystery)

In glittering Newport, Rhode Island, at the close of the nineteenth century, status is everything. But despite being a poorer relation to the venerable Vanderbilts, Emma Cross has shaped her own identityâ€”as a reporter and a sleuth.

Fancies and Fashion reporter Emma Cross is sent by the Newport Observer to cover an elite house party at Rough Point, the â€œcottageâ€ owned by her distant cousin Frederick Vanderbilt, which has been rented as a retreat for artists. To her surprise, the illustrious guests include her estranged Bohemian parentsâ€”recently returned from Europeâ€”as well as a variety of notable artists, including author Edith Wharton.

But when one of the artistsâ€”an English baronetâ€”is discovered dead at the bottom of a cliff, Rough Point becomes anything but a house of mirth. After a second guest is found murdered, no one is above suspicionâ€”including Emmaâ€™s parents.

Even as Newport police detective Jesse Whyte searches for a killer in their midst, Emma tries to draw her own conclusionsâ€”with the help of Mrs. Wharton. But with so many sketchy suspects, sheâ€™ll need to canvas the crime scenes carefully, before the cunning culprit takes her out of the picture nextâ€¦
