A married woman and her lawyer husband work together to solve the mystery of the murder and shoplifting at a classy department store. Plot moves along quickly with great references to locations and cooking styles of the time, but meanwhile the servants wonder when the woman will get pregnant, as she has been married 4 months. Good sleuthing, with the help of many of the servants. Back to being mostly Annie - which I liked in the first two stories - this one was one of my favourites in the series. It had all the elements of the story I enjoyed - a quick read, layered mystery, a lot of Annie and an expansion on the story of the boarders. You don't need to read the first books to enjoy all the rest, there is usually a recap whenever a character or situation is introduced, I liked the episodic way the stories are written. I'll be keeping an eye out for M. Louisa Locke's future stories. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It is November of 1880, and the future looks promising for Annie and Nate Dawson. Nate's law practice is taking off. Annie has made the transition from pretend clairvoyant to a successful financial consultant, and as a couple, they are looking forward to spending their first Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays together. For Robert Livingston, the owner San Francisco's newest grand emporium, the holidays are shaping up to be a dismal failure if he can't figure out how to stop whoever is stealing from his department store, the Silver Strike Bazaar. When he hires the Dawsons to investigate, Annie and Nate discover that behind the doors of Livingston's "Palace of Plenty," nothing is quite what it seems. Pilfered Promises, by USA Today bestselling author, M. Louisa Locke, is the fifth full-length historical mystery in the cozy Victorian San Francisco mystery series featuring Annie and Nate Dawson and their friends and family in the O'Farrell Street boarding house. Locke's shorter works, found in Victorian San Francisco Stories and Victorian San Francisco Novellas, feature minor characters from the series. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

A good well-written mystery, actually more than one. ( )
