The Elms, coal baron Edward Berwind's newly completed Bellevue Avenue estate, is newsworthy for two reasons: A modern mansion for the new century, it is one of the first homes in America to be wired for electricity with no backup power system, generated by coal from Berwind's own mines. And their servants - with a single exception - have all gone on strike to protest their working conditions. Summarily dismissing and replacing his staff with cool and callous efficiency, Berwind throws a grand party to showcase the marvels of his new "cottage." Emma and Derrick are invited to the fete, which culminates not only in a fabulous musicale but an unforeseen tragedy - a chambermaid is found dead in the coal tunnel. In short order, it is also discovered that a guest's diamond necklace is missing and a laborer has disappeared. Detective Jesse Whyte entreats Emma and Derrick to help with the investigation and determine whether the murdered maid and stolen necklace are connected. As the dark deeds cast a shadow over the blazing mansion, it's up to Emma to shine a light on the culprit . . ."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Berwind, Edward J. $q (Edward Julius), $d 1848-1936 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women journalists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewelry theft $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a Newport (R.I.) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Newport (R.I.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Cozy mysteries. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Maxwell, Alyssa. $t Gilded Newport mystery ; $v 11. 941 $a 9 945 $a lpt 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20240319011353.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240302010753.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240214010302.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20240125010352.0 952 $l MIPA194 $d 20240118010235.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20231212011355.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013348.0 952 $l FDPC194 $d 20231024010152.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20231013010925.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC520850698D11EEB4E267D653ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
