I expected a big showdown, but the end was kind of rushed. ( ) I picked this up at BookCrossing MeetUp but was unable to find a BCID so I'll add it in later. (Now done.) Entertaining enough to wile away the time but not particularly complex or finely woven as a mystery or character piece. It takes a very long time to not get any place in particular. The most amusing bit was that Fremont Jones, the unlikely heroine and San Fran bohemian, is a Wellesley grad. I'm not sure I really care enough to seek out any other books in the series, it's fine but no great shakes. Another in a promising series. It's just not living up to its promise. This installment was forgettable. As in "it's tough to write a review because I don't remember the book, even though I only finished it last night." I did enjoy the interaction between the main characters though they were separated physically through most of the book. The sub plot with the Mormons was such a tease that just follow through. That episode finished so weakly, I almost laughed. I am assuming the author just couldn't figure out a different way to get our heroine out of the cabin. The "enemy in the shadows" was also a letdown. So much promise, yet no clues as to who he was until the last chapter or so. Not fair to the reader - not even a red herring or two. I'm not sure I'm going to continue the series. Pity. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Fremont Jones (5)
Autumn 1908 finds Caroline Fremont Jones and her partner in love and work, Michael Kossoff, traveling incognito, riding the rails from San Francisco to Boston. The railroad hired the sleuthing couple to investigate a series of accidents. But before they can solve the mystery, they become victims of the worst mishap yet when their train blows up near Salt Lake City. Was it a callous act of vandalism-or something even more sinister? Michael isn't about to let his injuries slow down his search for answers...or for Fremont, who has not been seen since the accident-dead or alive. Fortunately, the badly injured Fremont was rescued from the train's wreckage. But her unlikely savior, the leader of a breakaway Mormon sect, has hidden her away in his remote wilderness community. It seems that Melancthon Pratt has big plans for Fremont...not the least of which is for her to become his sixth wife. Now Fremont's only hope is that her genius for artifice will help her devise an escape. That is, unless Michael, shadowed by an old nemesis and a mysterious stranger, can find her before a heartless killer claims both their lives. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
