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 (and ebook) 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:1. Civic Passions: Seven Who Launched Progressive America (and What They Teach Us)2. Jack London: A Writer's Fight for a Better America3. What Would Mrs. Astor Do? A Complete Guide to the Manners and Mores of the Gilded Age4. Gilded Age Cocktails: History, Lore, and Recipes from the Golden Age5. A Gilded Death (crime fiction)6..
