Sobre IBD

A formal dinner in palatial, Gilded Age Newport stuns Val DeVere when her closest friend whispers a terrifying rumor. The friend’s ultra-rich auntie’s fatal heart attack at Mrs. Astor’s annual ball last winter was murder.When the aunt’s reclusive daughter-and heir-succumbs to 'heart failure,' Val and husband Roddy probe the deaths to shield their dear friend who is next in line to inherit the family fortune-and sudden death.Society’s 'odd couple,' Val and Roddy, a.k.a. Valentine and Roderick DeVere, blend his Old New York savvy and her mountain West vision to ask: Is Newport truly Society’s 'place to take root in,' or a dear friend’s place to die?
