Journey back to the Gay NIneties with Gwen Barlow, her mother, Lillian, and her brother, Preston, when they inherit the Jubilee Palace Showboat from their uncle. Gwen, a Hopewell College librarian, never expected her life would change so much. When they first see the Jubilee, which looks more like an elaborate wedding cake, than a boat, Gwen discovers the actors and musicians haven't been paid in weeks, the Jubilee is in serious financial straits, and her uncle's death by falling stage backdrop is under suspicion. She must solve the crime so her family's inheritance can move upriver to fame and fortune.
