Death of a New American (A Jane Prescott Novel, Bk. 2)

In 1912, as New York reels from the news of the Titanic disaster, ladies' maid Jane Prescott travels to Long Island with the Benchley family. Their daughter Louise is to marry William Tyler at his glamorous uncle and aunt's mansion.

As the city visitors plan Louise's upcoming wedding, Jane quickly befriends the Tyler children's nanny, Sofia - a young Italian American woman. However, one night, Jane is woken by a scream from the nursery - and rushes in to find Sofia murdered, and the carefully locked window flung open.

The Tylers believe that this is an attempted kidnapping of their baby gone wrong, but Jane is uniquely placed to see what other tensions may simmer just below the surface in this wealthy, secretive household.
