A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Calico Spy (Undercover Ladies #3) - Margaret Brownley

This is the third book in the Undercover Ladies series.  The first two books were Petticoat Detective and Undercover Bride.

Katie has been sent to Calico, Kansas, to solve the mystery of two murders of Harvey Girls.  Her position undercover as one of them has her learning cup code and serving meals to people who don’t have much time before they have to get back on the train.  She’s supposed to check in with local law enforcement, but it doesn’t take long before Katie finds out how little the sheriff thinks of Pinkertons.

Branch is haunted by his failure to solve the murders.  When he finds out why Katie is in town, he grudgingly joins forces with her.  It doesn’t seem like they’re ever going to make headway in the investigation, but they both have feelings they’re going to have to face eventually.

Things get complicated, and they have more to worry about than just solving the murder.  An unwanted visitor comes back to town, an older woman is hearing/seeing things, and nature throws her own wrench in the works.  Through it all, these two find out that they work better together than apart.  Katie can’t believe she’s found someone who actually appreciates her for herself, and Branch is surprised to find out how much he needs Katie.

I really enjoyed this one.  The characters are lovable and I liked them all.  This is a light, fun read with moments to make you smile.  These can be read out of order, there’s nothing in there mentioning characters from the other books.  This series has been well worth my time, and I have no issues recommending it.  Good Book!
