Alyssa Maxwell writes the the Gilded Newport Mystery series which starts in March 2014 and is set in late 1800's Newport, Rhode Island. It features amateur sleuth Emmaline Cross. As both a Vanderbilt cousin and a Newporter born and raised, Emma's as strong as the steel rails that built her relatives' fortune, fiercely independent, and as determined as the ocean tides when it comes to standing her ground and seeing that justice is done.
