The first moment when the stage stopped in Whispering Pines, the youngest orphan jumped into the sheriff's hands and called him "Papa." That dropped the first clue on how the book would end. There are a lot of highs and lows in between the beginning and the end of the book. It has a degree of predictability, but just when the readers think they have a grasp on how the story is going, it takes a left turn and causes the reader to back up and regroup.
In an ongoing theme from the first book is Addie's and her sister, Rose's, brother, Frank--the token outlaw. Frank's story parallels Addie's and Jack's story. Frank outwits the law and still roams free after kidnapping Rose.
This is truly a five star book, two thumbs up, and a trio of orphans to keep you busy.
My thanks to Zebra Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.
