Title: Calico Spy
Series: Undercover Ladies
Author: by Margaret Brownley
My Review
This is a Christian base story that is a clean read full of
humor, mystery and a little action. Two women are killed they now have to find
out who did it. The owner of the Harvey House restaurant calls in Pinkerton
when the sheriff of this small town doesn’t have a clue to where to even
start. Sheriff Branch Whitman has little use for the Pinkerton’s and
doesn’t want them in his town. He is on the hunt for the killers along with the
Pinkerton operative. Here it gets
a little funny as he goes off half cocked on the hunt, Katie is about to tell
the sheriff who she is until he opens his mouth and tells her what he thinks of
the Pinkers. This was a very entertaining humorous read at times I chuckled and
laughed. The author gives you a few stories inside that has your heart in your
mouth wondering how this will turn out.
I really enjoyed the characters I liked how Branch and Katie
reacted to each other. You could feel the pull between them. I loved the Harvey
ladies each having their own little mystery. Andy was adorable just cute as a
button. Branch is a strong bullheaded man who mostly thinks women should be
home. I wouldn’t really call him alpha just strong welled. He has had some hard
times in his life. Katie has had a hard time as well. From her father to her
boyfriends she doesn’t know who to trust. She is a lovely smart and
strong welled. She will stand up to any man but she is still very
much a lady. I loved how she worked out who the killer was, how she used
what she had learned to find him.
I enjoyed the plot along with the wonderful characters. This
was well written and well thought out story. This is a
Christian book that talks about faith and God but isn’t pushy. The
story never gets boring maybe it has a slow start but it isn’t long before you
are pulled in trying to help solve the mystery. There were a few times I thought
I had it worked out but changed my mind for one reason or the other. In some
ways I had it worked out and in others I was clueless. I liked that this had a light side to it with
humor but they still took it very seriously.
If you enjoy a clean, mystery with humor than this book is for you. I
really enjoyed it.
