Customer Reviews

A very light mystery, but intriguing just the same.

The main thing about this mystery is that it takes place back in the late 1800's when women in the workforce (especially one working as a private eye) was virtually unheard of. After losing her child and her husband, Jasmine Malloy remained employed at the Selkirk Detective Agency. Jasmine is asked by a wealthy family to locate their daughter who has run away. The storyline was very straight forward and enjoyable without a lot of added fluff and minutae that a lot of authors use in order to make a story longer. Though definitely not categorized as a thriller, or even particulary deep, the story maintained a steady, interesting beat, and I will definitely look for more by this author.
