ABOUT A GILDED REDWOOD COFFIN:

Western silver heiress Val DeVere expects nothing but joy at an elegant Newport picnic in 1899, only to be abruptly summoned to New York by a close friend's urgent and cryptic plea: "PLEASE HELP...THEO B."
In New York, Theo confides in Val, begging her to save his lively cousin Phoebe from a cunning Irish manservant who, he claims, is plotting her "accidental" death in the Rocky Mountains—just as he allegedly orchestrated the death of her twin sister in Boston a year earlier.
Determined to help her friend, Val, now Mrs. Roderick DeVere, tries to convince the headstrong Phoebe to delay her trip to the Rockies. Yet the Irish servant, whom Theo accuses of murder, reminds Val of her beloved late father, an Irish immigrant and "Silver King," whose charm and brogue are unsettlingly familiar.

When Phoebe is found murdered in her New York apartment, suspicion falls squarely on the Irishman, appearing to wrap the case up neatly. But for Val, the truth feels far more elusive. Is she blinded by sentiment, or is there another killer lurking in the shadows? As doubt creeps in, Val faces a race against time to uncover the real culprit, all while risking arrest as an accessory to murder.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

A fresh start for every new book, and author Tichi's zest for America's Gilded Age and its boldface names draws this seasoned writer to a crime fiction series while uncorking the country's cocktail cultures on the printed page.
Tichi digs deep into the Vanderbilt University research library to mine the late 1800-1900s history and customs of Society's "Four Hundred," its drinks, and the ways high-stakes crimes in its midst make for a gripping "Gilded" mystery series that rings true to the tumultuous era.
The decades of America's industrial titans and "Queens" of Society have loomed large in Tichi's books for several years, and the titles track her recent projects:
  • Civic Passions: Seven Who Launched Progressive America (and What They Teach Us)
  • Jack London: A Writer's Fight for a Better America
  • What Would Mrs. Astor Do? A Complete Guide to the Manners and Mores of the Gilded Age
  • Gilded Age Cocktails: History, Lore, and Recipes from the Golden Age
  • Jazz Age Cocktails: History, Lore, and Recipes from the Roaring Twenties.
  • A Gilded Death (crime fiction)
  • Murder, Murder, Murder in Gilded Central Park (crime fiction)
  • A Fatal Gilded High Note (crime fiction)
  • A Deadly Gilded Free Fall (crime fiction)
  • A Gilded Drowning Pool (crime fiction)
  • Death in a Gilded Frame (crime fiction)
  • A Gilded Redwood Coffin (crime fiction)
She enjoys membership and posting in Facebook’s The Gilded Age Society.
