Bookroo's summary

In 1908, Charlotte O'Dell juggles work at the St. Alice Hotel and organizing a suffragette march. Her life takes a dark turn when a regular guest, Mr. Doyle, is found dead, and she's arrested for his murder. As Charlotte fights to clear her name, secrets unravel, and the true killer must be found. Can she uncover the truth before it's too late?

From the publisher

It’s 1908, and sixteen-year-old Charlotte O’Dell is working at the St. Alice Hotel in order to make enough money to finish school. Between organizing a women’s march for suffragettes, and memorizing all there is to know about her new profession in The Up-to-Date Waitress, Charlotte befriends one of the hot-springs regulars, Mr. Doyle . . . until one day he turns up dead. Who killed Doyle? The police seem to think it was Charlotte; after all, she’s the one they arrested . . . Becky Citra has crafted an intricate web of mysteries and intrigue. When all of the pieces are unraveled, who will remain standing?
