Burdened by tragedy, Boston-bred Bridey Calloway journeys to Potluck, Arizona, to claim her inheritance, a hotel and the key to a long-lost silver mine, and becomes caught between two fascinating... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Just had to write a comment about this book. It was given to me free with the purchase of another book. I had never heard of Ms Fitzjames but she really can put a great story together. This action packed book had it all. Love interest, mystery and a bracelet with a puzzle to solve. It even combined Bridey, a very proper Boston lady, with a frontier hero. I loved the town of Potluck she created, built in tiers, with stairs leading to each street (reminded me of 1st and 2nd streets in downtown Seattle). The brothers that ran the "Contraption", Digger always singing "Sweet Betsy from Pike" and his huge mule Ulysses. Can't forget the widow Ruth Spivey who ran the hotel and her secret love interest. Caught me with her surprise at the end too. I have read so many books that received a 5* rating just on the author's name when the book left much to be desired but I highly recommend this one to all who enjoy a book that grabs you on the first page and doesn't let go till the last.
Pretty good but could have moved a little faster.
