The socialite's guide to murder : a novel
(Book)

It’s 1958 and Evelyn Elizabeth Grace Murphy has not left the Pinnacle Hotel in 14 months. She suffers from agoraphobia, and what’s more, it’s her father’s hotel, and everything she needs is there. Evelyn’s always been good at finding things, she discovered her mother dead in a Manhattan alleyway 15 years earlier. Now she’s finding trouble inside her sanctuary. At a party for artist Billie Bell, his newest work is stolen, and Evelyn’s fake boyfriend (and real best friend), movie star Henry Fox, is accused of the theft. But just as Evelyn sets out to prove Henry’s innocence, she finds Billie Bell dead. With her beloved home in disarray, Evelyn joins up with hotel employee (and secret crush) Mac Cooper to get to the bottom of the case.
