The second, ground-breaking mystery featuring African-American maid and amateur sleuth Blanche White by Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award-winning author Barbara Neely.

When Blanche White moved north to Boston, she believed it would be a better spot to raise her kids, especially after she got them into at the very top private school. But now her children are becoming elitist and judgmental, obtaining more attitude than education. So when she and her children are asked to Amber Cove, a special resort in Maine for wealthy blacks, Blanche jumps at the chance to observe how the spouse lives and perhaps stop her kids turning into people she doesn’t wish to know. When one of the guests eliminates himself, and another is certainly electrocuted in her bathtub, Blanche becomes an accidental detective once more, using her sharpened wit and willing social understanding to peel back again some troubling color and class distinctions within the dark community that may have driven someone to murder.
