Murder at Vinland by Alyssa Maxwell
4.0
Another fine installment in the Gilded Newport mysteries series by @alyssamaxwellauthor. This time a murder has occurred at the home of our intrepid lady reporter, Emmaline Cross's relative Florence Twombly (and I was sort of tickled to be reading this book on Labor Day as one of the better known stories about Mrs. Twombly involves her never having heard of Labor Day).
There were actually a lot of moving parts in this one. The basically crime is that wealthy women of the four hundred are being sent poison in the mail. At the same time Emma and her, fairly, new husband are hoping to buy the property next to her inherited cottage and have the owners, out of town from Florida, stay as houseguests. Throw in a mother and daughter who are down on their luck, proponents of the Audubon Society, and many members of Emma's distant relatives, the Vanderbilts, who she gets along with at varying degrees. Nice to see Alva again, Grace as usual, Alice and Gertrude, and of course Mrs. Twombly herself.
It was a fun installment. I cannot believe how many books are in this series now. But I hope they keep coming!
