The book is a mix of mystery and romance with a little bit of local history thrown in for good measure. It is a nice, easy read but has some good plot twists that make you want to keep reading. The main characters are all very well developed and you get a sense of what they would look like if you ran into them on the streets of Virginia City. Even though the book has a lot of romance, it was written with class and tact so that its’s appropriate for even younger readers. I recommend the book and hope to see more works (maybe even a sequel?) from Ms. Redican
