When a prostitute is found dead in the home of a U.S. senator, Newport society reporter Emma suspects a plot to disgrace him. She enlists help from friends to get into places a proper woman doesn't go in 1897. Fans of historical mysteries will relish Maxwell's fifth series entry (after Murder at Rough Point), with its intricate plot and cast of historical characters.—LH
