Helpful Score: 3
Pinkerton detective agency? Undercover agents? Romance? History? Dastardly deeds? Hmm, yes please!
From just a little bit of the books plot, I was eager to get my hands on this novel. It has those qualities to the story structure and characters that set it apart, especially in todays historical fiction genre. I wasnt disappointed.
There is much to love about this book. Ellie is a rookie Pinkerton detective, playing not one, but two operatives. The quirky and funny things that happen to her once she is in disguise, keep the story an element of lighthearted. But there is plenty of serious to go around.
The mystery of the silver mine thieves was well portrayed and even a bit surprising once I found out who the real villains were.
The romance was so sweet! Ellie might have fallen in love, but what happens when the man who loves youactually loves the woman youve become to solve the mystery? If that doesnt make you want this story nothing else will.
Story was solid. Plot was well founded. The writing was enjoyable. The novel has that star quality about it that makes you want to keep reading. I loved the uniqueness of it all.
Overall, four stars to a good book. One Im glad I took the time to read.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through CFBA for my copy to review.
