Emma Cross thought she'd reported on her last society party when she became the new Editor-in-Chief at the Messenger Newspaper. But with a reporter out of commission, Emma drives to Crossways, the home of Millionaire Stuyvesant Fish and his wife, Mamie. Mamie Fish has promised that Prince Otto of Austria will be attending her Harvest Ball. But when the prince is found dead in the pumpkin patch, there are many disappointed eligible ladies in Newport. Emma interviews several of the people from the party, hoping to help the local police find the killer.

This is the seventh book in the Gilded Newport Mystery series. I thought this was one of the better entries in the series. I love how so many real people who summered at Newport are included in these stories. In this one, Mamie Fish decides she wants to help Emma catch the killer. She actually turns out to be a big help with this case. Along with the dead Prince, Emma is also looking into a body of an unidentified man who was found near the beach. To make matters worse, someone is sabotaging Emma's newspaper. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
