It’s 1958, and Evelyn Elizabeth Grace Murphy has not left the Pinnacle Hotel in fourteen months.

She suffers from agoraphobia, and what’s more, it’s her father’s hotel, and everything she needs is there. She’s always been good at finding things. Fifteen years earlier, she discovered her mother dead in a Manhattan alleyway. Now, she’s finding trouble inside her sanctuary.

At a party for artist Billie Bell, his newest work is stolen, and Evelyn’s fake boyfriend (and real best friend), movie star Henry Fox, is accused of the theft. But just as Evelyn sets out to prove Henry’s innocence, she finds Billie Bell dead. The murder weapon links the crime to the hotel’s chief of security. As Mac picks locks and Evelyn snoops around the hotel, they discover the walls around them contain more secrets than they previously knew. Now, Evelyn must force herself to leave the hotel to follow the clues—

Evelyn’s knack for sleuthing—and her playful imagination—is always hard at work, so she throws an elaborate party at the hotel where every guest is a suspect. But will the killer emerge from the glamorous lineup? If not, Evelyn just might find herself next in line for murder…

“Narrator Amara Jasper inhabits the role of agoraphobic, rich, spoiled, and very clever Evelyn Elizabeth Grace Murphy, daughter of The Pinnacle Hotel’s owner in 1958 New York City. Jasper captures Evelyn’s perkiness as she describes her fancy clothes, teetering stilettos, and attachment to her purse-sized dog, Presley. When artist Billie Bell’s masterpiece is stolen and then he’s murdered, Evelyn investigates with the help of the hotel’s staff and the 10-year-old daughter of the French diplomat, all of who are given unique accents. Evelyn ferrets out clues using her intimate knowledge of the hotel’s secrets and its residents. Jasper’s smooth, upbeat performance captures the hotel’s international ambiance, Evelyn’s lighthearted banter, and her competent solutions to puzzling crimes.”—AudioFile 2023
