FYI: Two recent books NOT set primarily in Rhode Island, but featuring visits to Newport, are I Know a Secret, by Tess Gerritsen, and A Delicate Touch, by Stuart Woods.

I don't think The One and Only Ivan takes place in Rhode Island.
Added Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. While most of the book takes place in NYC, Newport is the setting for Newland realizing he's can't--and never will--get over Ellen.
