The last person Eunice wanted to see in the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency Office was Arthur Livingston; the last time she saw him, she shot him in the arm. It was only a flesh wound, but still. When she finds out whom he wants to find, she wants to turn down his inquiry immediately. The catch is that Arthur is looking for her! She wore a disguise of widow's weeds and weeping veils. Arthur is not put off by Eunice's initial refusal to take his case, and comes back day after day to convince her to take his case.
Jen Turano writes interesting historical fiction with quite a humorous twist, She mixes in social justice, a bit of mystery, and, of course, romance. This series is entertaining to read and the characters are "real characters," who make the book so much fun. There are laugh out loud moments, grace moments, forgiveness moments, and poignant moments. There were a few moments when I thought things got a little bit silly, but overall, this was a great read and one I would read again if in need of a rom-com in the historical fiction genre. One of the most important things this book has is that the characters' faith is lived out in a way that puts their money where their mouth is. That was heartwarming to see.
Four strong stars.
