<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When her job takes her to Newport, Rhode Island, traveling secretary and intrepid sleuth Hattie Davish finds herself in the middle of a labor dispute that results in the murder of the town's wealthiest resident, forcing her to employ her keen skills of detection to catch a killer amongst the town's gentry. Original.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Traveling secretary and dilettante detective Hattie Davish is bringing her talents to a small New England town whose wealthy residents have more secrets than they do money. . . <p/>When Hattie Davish's job takes her to Newport, Rhode Island, she welcomes the opportunity for a semi-vacation, and perhaps even a summer romance. But her hopes for relaxation are dashed when she learns that members of the local labor unions are at odds with Newport's gentry. Amidst flaring tensions, an explosion rocks the wharf. In the ensuing turmoil, Mr. Harland Whitwell, one of Newport's most eminent citizens, is found stabbed to death, his hands clutching a strike pamphlet. All signs point to a vengeful union member bent on taking down the aristocracy, but Hattie starts digging and finds a few skeletons in the closets of the impeccable Whitwell mansion. As she strikes down the whispers spilling out of Newport's rumor mill, she'll uncover a truth more scandalous than anyone imagined--and a killer with a rapacious sense of entitlement. . . <p/><b>Praise For A Lack Of Temperance</b> <p/>"Delightful. . .cozy fans will eagerly await Hattie's next adventure." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"This historical cozy debut showcases the author's superb research.
