Answering an add for a mail-order bride, Millie set off across country encountering all kinds of dangers. I never could have survived the old west days as Millie did in this tale of The Lucky Hat Mine by J.v.L.

Wife-wanted ads are always risky business, but Millie Virginia never imagined she’d survive the perilous trip across the Great Plains to find her intended husband in a pine box. I would love to see the author have a book with several of these types of stories, so we could enjoy the full spectrum of Rory's escapes.Ī recipe for true love or murder? Ingredients: one Southern belle, one Colorado gold miner, a wife wanted classified, and a fainting goat. We are also treated with a bit of humor as Rory methodically puts the clues together, bridging the story from the dinner party to the actual crime.

The main character reminds me of Sergeant Joe Friday from the TV show Dragnet.short and to the point. Yes, this is a super short story as it is only 19 pages long, but it's kind of a brain teaser! Diamond (The Greywood Files #1) by Paul Willis has done so. I enjoy reading new, young authors as they often provide fresh, new material.

Only the owner himself could retrieve the diamond.Ī short story containing odd friends, two eventful dinner parties, and a coffee fueled detective. But when he learns his client stored the world’s eighth largest diamond in a highly secure bank vault, he knows there must be much more to the case.

When Detective Greywood gets a midnight case from a forgetful friend, he thinks it’s just another robbery. After all, becoming a detective means signing up for everyone’s problems even if they come at midnight. I guess all the inconvenience was my own fault. “Hello?” I tried to keep the irritation out of my voice.
