Through it all, these two find out that they work better together than apart. An unwanted visitor comes back to town, an older woman is hearing/seeing things, and nature throws her own wrench in the works. Things get complicated, and they have more to worry about than just solving the murder.

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. When he finds out why Katie is in town, he grudgingly joins forces with her. 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.īranch is haunted by his failure to solve the murders. 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. Katie has been sent to Calico, Kansas, to solve the mystery of two murders of Harvey Girls. The first two books were Petticoat Detective and Undercover Bride. This is the third book in the Undercover Ladies series. Here’s the review that will appear on my blog and amazon when the title is released: Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title.

I thought the lighthearted moments were well done and found it hard to put the book down. I didn’t have the murderer figured out, and I enjoy being surprised by that in a mystery.

I appreciated the character development and liked the characters overall.
