How to Murder a Millionaire (The Blackbird Sisters Book 1)
By Nancy Martin
When Nora Blackbird’s parents bolt out of the country with her trust fund and leave her with the tax bill on their crumbling family estate, Nora must do something she’s never done before. She must get a job. Although she has spent most of her life sipping mimosas and suntanning on yachts, Nora manages to land a gig as the assistant to the society columnist for a Philadelphia rag. Attending high society parties for a living sounds perfect for her skill set, but can this down-and-out former debutante reclaim her top spot among the city’s elite? While paying her bills for the first time in her life?
Nora’s plan goes awry when she stumbles upon the body of the billionaire host of her very first party. Who killed the wealthy Main Line art collector, an old family friend? Nora must find out, but her investigating is complicated by a toe-curlingly attractive son of a New Jersey mob boss who’s focused on seduction like a guided missile. And what about Nora’s eccentric sisters? Would it kill them to help solve the murder, or will they get in the way? It’s fizzy fun in Philly while Nora takes us on a tour of the world of Old Money while she plays detective while sipping champagne.
