Women's Fiction | Mystery Private Eye
Lily Brewster and her brother Robert have all the
appearances of being filthy rich, even though the family
fortune went out the window with the crash of 1929. But
thanks to great-uncle Horatio, who left them Grace and
Favor Cottage, a huge mansion on the Hudson not far from
Franklin Roosevelt's Hyde Park, the Brewsters live in the
style to which they had become accustomed—with a few
troublesome limitations. To make sure Lily and Robert didn't go back to being
society bums, crafty old Horatio attached some strings to
his bequest—and a penny-pinching attorney to manage the
funds. Now the poor Brewsters have to actually work for
money to survive, and Lily comes up with a brilliant
scheme. They can turn a profit while they hobnob with
their society friends, luring them to Grace and Favor for
a paying weekend with the promise of big-name celebrities
as guests. If Sinclair Lewis hadn't been working on a new book, he
might have joined the party; if Amelia Earhart hadn't been
busy planning her cross-Atlantic flight, history might not
have its own unsolved mystery. And if the Brewsters'
celebrity/society bash hadn't been short on luminaries and
long on snide barbs and open hostility among the guests,
the glittering, glamorous affair might not have turned
into a whodunit with one guest dead, one missing, and Lily
and Robert chasing a murderer who is ready to strike again.
