Overview: A Gilded Age Historical Mystery
Love is in the air. So is murder.
The long-promised vaudeville troupe has arrived in Whitby, with the finale being famous magician Kenneth Harrell executing his repertoire of card tricks and illusions.
The whole town is eager to attend a performance, including Titus Strong and his secretary, Elisabeth Wade. But the lawyer is taken aback when an advertisement features the prestidigitator and his assistant, who happens to be his sister. The last he knew, she’d been working with a con artist in Chicago.
He’s procrastinated on asking Elisabeth to marry him, largely because he knew he’d have to tell her about his mother. He’d had no idea what to say about his brother, the pickpocket, but thought he might be able to omit him. After all, they hadn’t spoken to one another in years. Now his sister is in town, and he can’t see a way to avoid disclosing the tawdry occupations of his family members. Because Elisabeth has to know the truth before she responds to his proposal.
The engagement of Owen and Agnes has put additional pressure on him, and he’s determined to conquer his fear, so he can ask her the question that has burned in his chest for months.
But when the magician’s assistant falls to her death during a performance, Titus has a whole new set of problems to face. Will he be able to untangle the deception in time to have his—and Elisabeth’s—happily ever after?
