MY TAKE:

Ellie Moore is quite the master of diguise. It's a shame she was never given a chance to shine on the boards. But life has a funny way of giving us both what we need and desire. Instead of applause and curtain calls, Ellie gets adventure, travel, two roles of a lifetime and a hunk - all because she was desperate for a job.

Hmm... my unemployment stint didn't work out that well, but it's just as well. I'd rather not be shot at, thank you very much!

It is a blast to live the adventure through Ellie and Steven's eyes. It was funny, sweet and exciting.

Plus, what a gorgeous cover!


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.

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...
