Another Fransesca Cahill.
I really like these books........easy to follow, and enough mystery and romance to keep you anxious to see what happens next.

Another great Joyce novel. Sorry it had to end so soon. Oh well, there are always more Joyce novels to be read.

I'm "sort of" enjoying the Francesca Cahill series - the basic stories are good, but they seem to take an eternity to tell! Do we really need minute-by-minute descriptions of EVERYTHING that happens to Francesca???

The second installment in Joyce's romantic historical mystery series featuring Francesca Cahill, self-proclaimed Crime-Solver Extraordinaire, takes place between January 31 and February 4, 1902. A woman gripping one of Francesca's new business cards accosts her on the street and ensnares her in a murder investigation that once again teams her up with New York City Police Commissioner Rick Bragg. The man Francesca finds shot dead in his mistress's home is none other than the father of Bragg's bastard half-brother, Calder Hart, who is also one of the wealthiest men in New York. Although her wealthy socialite parents are vehemently opposed to her involvement with Bragg, they see Hart in a totally different light. Joyce's suspenseful tale and Francesca's earnest sleuthing may appeal to readers of the Fremont Jones series by Dianne Day if they don't mind a little explicit sex involving secondary characters.
