THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER<\/p>\n

“An engrossing and sumptuous tale, this novel is a fantastic spring read.” \u2014 Good Morning America<\/p>\n

From the New York Times bestselling team of Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White\u2014a novel of money and secrets set among the famous summer mansions of Newport, Rhode Island, spanning over a century from the Gilded Age to the present day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree stories elegantly intertwine in this clever and stylish tale of murder and family lies\u2026This crackerjack novel offers three mysteries for the price of one.\u201d \u2014Publishers Weekly (starred review)<\/p>\n

2019: Andie Figuero has just landed her dream job as a producer of Mansion Makeover, a popular reality show about restoring America\u2019s most lavish historic houses. Andie has high hopes for her latest project: the once glorious but gently crumbling Sprague Hall in Newport, Rhode Island, summer resort of America\u2019s gilded class\u2014famous for the lavish \u201csummer cottages\u201d of Vanderbilts and Belmonts. But Andie runs into trouble: the reclusive heiress who still lives in the mansion, Lucia \u201cLucky\u201d Sprague, will only allow the show to go forward on two conditions: One, nobody speaks to her. Two, nobody touches the mansion\u2019s ruined boathouse.<\/p>\n

1899: Ellen Daniels has been hired to give singing lessons to Miss Maybelle Sprague, a naive young Colorado mining heiress whose stepbrother John has poured their new money into buying a place among Newport\u2019s elite. John is determined to see Maybelle married off to a fortune-hunting Italian prince, and Ellen is supposed to polish up the girl for her launch into society. But the deceptively demure Ellen has her own checkered past, and she\u2019s hiding in plain sight at Sprague Hall.<\/p>\n

1958: Lucia \u201cLucky\u201d Sprague has always felt like an outsider at Sprague Hall. When she and her grandmother\u2014the American-born Princess di Conti\u2014fled Mussolini\u2019s Italy, it seemed natural to go back to the imposing Newport house Nana owned but hadn\u2019t seen since her marriage in 1899. Over the years, Lucky’s lost her Italian accent and found a place for herself among the yachting set by marrying Stuyvesant Sprague, the alcoholic scion of her Sprague stepfamily. But one fateful night in the mansion\u2019s old boathouse will uncover a devastating truth…and change everything she thought she knew about her past.<\/p>\n

As the cameras roll on Mansion Makeover, the house begins to yield up the dark secrets the Spragues thought would stay hidden forever\u2026.<\/p>\n
