Emmaline Cross is a reporter with ties to the wealthy Vanderbilt family. One day she opens her door to find a baby on her doorstep. A carriage driver is found dead a few streets away. Could the two be connected? Emma decides to find the mother of the child. The first step in her investigation is to attend a party at Beechwoods, the home of the Astors. Emma is covering the party for her newspaper, but finds time to question many of the affluent guests. While attending the party, a yacht race is held. One of the guests falls overboard and drowns. Was it an accident or murder?

The third book in the Gilded Newport series is the best yet. Who is the baby's mother? Who shot the carriage driver? Everyone had a grudge against Virgil Monroe. Did he fall overboard during the storm or was he helped over the side? This one has a solid mystery with lots of suspects. The author also makes good use of the setting and the real historical characters that pop up in the story. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
