Calamity at the Continental Club

A congressional aide investigates a high society murder in this "consistently compelling and entertaining read" (Midwest Book Review).

The Mayflower Society is about to hold its annual meeting at the Continental Club, a swanky gathering place for Washington DC's elite. Hill staffer Kit Marhsall nervously awaits the arrival of her socially prominent and rather intimidating future in-laws, Buffy and Winston Hollingsworth. But her personal worries are put on hold when she discovers the dead body of the Mayflower Society president, multimedia tycoon Grayson Bancroft. In no time, the police have their prime suspect: Winston.

Doug and his parents, who usually disapprove of Kit's sleuthing, urge her to investigate and clear the family name. Aided by the help of her fiancé and friends Meg and Trevor, Kit sets out once again to solve a murder. "Interesting and informative trips to such historical sites as Mount Vernon, the National Archives, and the Smithsonian add spice to this appealing whodunit" (Publishers Weekly).
