Summary:
Camrianne Coulter's brother Caleb is a successful San Francisco attorney. But when three months go by without a word from the usually communicative Caleb, Camri boards a train to the booming West Coast city to find out for herself why he hasn't written. When she arrives at his home, nobody seems to know where he is, or what has become of him.
Camri's search for her brother leads her deep into the political corruption of the city--and into the acquaintance of Patrick Murdock, who Caleb successfully defended from a false murder charge. Getting to know this handsome Irish contractor challenges all of Camri's privileged beliefs, but Patrick is unshakably loyal to her brother, and he seems to know more about what happened to Caleb than anyone else.
As the two edge closer to the truth behind Caleb's disappearance, they risk angering the powerful forces that control the city. Can Camri trust Patrick to protect her from the dangers that lie hidden in San Francisco's backstreets?
My Thoughts:
I'm really happy to say that I enjoyed this book a lot. (the cover is also great!!!)
Camri is such an interesting character. She has an education and she's involved with women's suffrage movements despite her high-ish place in society. I would have loved to know more about her past and experiences with that.
Patrick's character was well developed, as was his sister's, which made me happy (not a lot of side characters have depth to them).
But her friends' characters weren't well developed. Kenzie's was the most developed, though. I hope that the story with them continues so we can know them better.
I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries with a small bit of romance.
My Rating: 5 stars
**I received this book for free to review from Bethany House Publishers. Thank you!!!**
