Bethany House Publishers (June 1, 2012)

Carol Cox


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:



Native Arizonan Carol Cox has an abiding love for history, mystery, and romance. The author of more than 25 books, she believes in the power of story to convey spiritual truths. Carol lives with her husband and daughter in northern Arizona, where deer and antelope really do play--within view of the family's front porch.

A word from Carol:

As a native of Arizona, I have a longtime interest in the Southwest and its history. My family shares my love of the Old West, as evidenced by this photo taken back in the halcyon days before my son turned to a life of crime and started robbing trains for a living...


ABOUT THE BOOK

When costume-maker Ellie Moore suddenly finds herself out of a job in the middle of a bleak Chicago winter, she uses her knowledge of theatrical disguise to secure a position as an undercover operative with the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Her assignment: find the culprit behind the theft of silver shipped from the mines near Pickford, Arizona.

Disguised as Lavinia Stewart, a middle-aged widow, Ellie begins her investigation. Soon she finds she must also pose as the dazzling young Jessie Monroe, whose vivacious personality encourages people to talk.

MY THOUGHTS
I loved the mystery mixed in with the historical romance,  it made for quite an intriguing read.  Ellie is quite fun to follow as she goes from being Ellie to Lavinia, and at times her predicaments become quite comical.  This was a refreshing change of pace as far as a historical romance goes and I sincerely cannot wait to read another Carol Cox book, this was my first, but most definitely not my last.
