The gay 1890s aren’t always. Gay, that is. Sometimes life is dangerous, especially if you’re next on someone’s murder list.

In 1896, there aren’t many career choices for a young lady. China Bohannon has fled one bad situation, and is looking to start her life over as a strong, independent woman in the wild and woolly town of Spokane, Washington.

Convincing Gratton Doyle to take her seriously as a bookkeeper is hard enough, and when it comes to working as an investigator in the Doyle & Howe Detective Agency, it’s well-nigh impossible.

But what if China is able to solve a murder case no one, including the police, wants to take on, that of a young girl found dead, her body thrown in the river? Maybe Gratton will hire her then. But first, China has to avoid becoming the murderer's
next victim.

Rated PG-13
The story is fast-paced.  The characters are believable and enjoyable.  The historical sense is accurate.  The overall novel is a delightful perspective of life from the feminine perspective of being independent in the 1890s while living in the frontier city of Spokane, Washington.
I definitely look forward to more books by this talented author.

Best Seller's World

The cover of Carol Crigger's mystery novel is deceptively sweet, but between the first and last pages is a suspenseful, gripping story guaranteed to keep readers up well past their bedtimes.

China Bahannon leaves an unhappy home following her father's death and moves in with her uncle, a partner in a struggling detective agency. The young woman goes to work as a bookkeeper in the Doyle and Howe Agency although her uncle's partner is dead set against it. The setting is Spokane, Washington in 1896, a rip roaring frontier town and China soon finds herself embroiled in more than one murder case, nearly becoming a victim herself. The story is sprinkled with horror, humor and hints of romance.
