Newport Gilded Age Mystery Series

Shelley Freydont writes the Newport Gilded Age Mystery series which started in August 2015 and is set in Rhode Island. In 1895, the height of the Gilded Age, the social elite spend their summers in Newport, Rhode Island. Within the walls of their fabulous “cottages,” competition for superiority is ruthless … and so are the players. During her first Newport season, Deanna Randolph attends a ball given in honor of Lord David Manchester, a Barbadian sugar magnate, and his sister, Madeline.
