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!
