The First Ladies' Guide to Murder
€ 31.25
ISBN: 9781496759528
Amid the lavish environs of Gilded Age-era Washington, the Capitol's most influential women – none other than First Lady Frances Cleveland and her predecessor, Julia Dent Grant – band together to solve the suspicious murder of a young maid in this dazzling new series from USA Today bestselling and multi-Agatha and Edgar Award-winning author Amanda Flower.
1894, Washington: This is not the kind of homecoming Nellie Grant hoped for. The only daughter of former President Ulysses S. Grant, Nellie has left England after being granted a divorce from her abusive husband. She plans to hide away with her three children at the home of her mother, Julia Dent Grant. However, Julia, the unofficial queen mother of Washington's elite, has other ideas-and convinces Nellie to attend a White House dinner in honor of the current president, Grover Cleveland.
The lavish event turns somber when First Lady Frances Cleveland discovers that her prized Tiffany brooch is missing. Young maid Kitty Thorn is accused of theft and dismissed on the spot. The next morning, Kitty is found drowned, her death ruled a suicide.
Frances calls upon Nellie and Julia to implore them for help. She doesn't believe Kitty stole the brooch-or committed suicide. She believes Kitty was framed and murdered. For while the authorities deem the victim a woman of no consequence, despite her lowly status, Kitty saw and knew a great deal. She was a keeper of secrets-and in the capital, every secret has a price.
Nellie especially feels a tie to Kitty, who years ago did her a kindness that she hopes to repay by finding her killer. But the risks will be great, for this crime has ramifications for all the First Ladies . . .
