When Nora Blackbird’s parents steal her trust fund to blow the country for a tax evader’s paradise and sticking her with the tax bill on their crumbling Blackbird family estate, Nora must do something she’s never done before. She must absolutely... get a job. Although she has wasted 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 while rubbing aristocratic elbows at her very first party. Who smothered the wealthy Main Line tycoon underneath his very own Van Gogh? Nora must find out, but with whom should she join forces while investigating? A toe-curlingly attractive son of a New Jersey mob boss who’s more of a dangerous thug than boyfriend material? Or a cute, but ambitious cop who may have betrayal on his mind? 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.
