My Review
Wow, what an exciting start to the Joplin Chronicles series. I was very intrigued as I went forth reading this and it was a quick read for me. I have read books about Pinkerton Agents before but not about a woman one and it piqued my interest all the more.
Calista's family is lovely,helpful maybe to the extent of being too helpful but I enjoyed getting to know all of them. Her family would stick by her through the thick and the thin.
I must say I really enjoyed Calista's character, she's just doing what she believes will bring her success for the case, what her heart tells her is the right hing to do even though it may make her seem like not the most likable person. Matthew is spunky and stands up for what he believes in,always looking for the best in a person especially Calista.
I enjoyed the faith filled message in this book as well.
The author uses humor to balance out the story . Fun,entertaining and I really
enjoyed the history lesson on Joplin and the mines.
So looking forward to reading more in this series.

GoodReads Summary
Calista York needs one more successful case as a Pinkerton operative to secure her job. When she's assigned to find the kidnapped daughter of a mob boss, she's sent to the rowdy mining town of Joplin, Missouri, despite having extended family in the area. Will their meddling expose her mission and keep Lila Seaton from being recovered?
When Matthew Cook decided to be a missionary, he never expected to be sent only a short train ride away. While fighting against corruption of all sorts, Matthew hears of a baby raffle being held to raise funds for a children's home. He'll do what he can to stop it, but he also wants to stop the reckless Miss York, whose bad judgment consistently seems to be putting her in harm's way.
Calista doesn't need the handsome pastor interfering with her investigation, and she can't let her disguise slip. Her job and the life of a young lady depend on keeping
Matthew in the dark.
