Publisher's Summary
Calista York needs one more successful case as a Pinkerton operative to secure her job. When she's assigned to find the kidnapped daughter of a mob boss, she's sent to the rowdy mining town of Joplin, Missouri, despite having extended family in the area. Will their meddling expose her mission and keep Lila Seaton from being recovered?
When Matthew Cook decided to be a missionary, he never expected to be sent only a short train ride away. While fighting against corruption of all sorts, Matthew hears of a baby raffle being held to raise funds for a children's home. He'll do what he can to stop it, but he also wants to stop the reckless Miss York, whose bad judgment consistently seems to be putting her in harm's way
Calista doesn't need the handsome pastor interfering with her investigation, and she can't let her disguise slip. Her job and the life of a young lady depend on keeping Matthew in the dark.

Disappointing.
This novel is about a privileged socialite who turns her hand towards being a private investigator. Unfortunately, her ruses that she employs in her work backfire and contribute to her misfortune.
I would of liked to see greater detail in the narrative to broaden and deepen the personae of the novel's characters and overall storyline. For myself, increasing the depth and layers of detail could of improved the credibility of both characters and story. I thought that the brief humour (towards the beginning) was odd. I would have preferred the levity to have been incorporated throughout the narrative to provide some balance to the discussed Christian themes.
The narration is well performed within the confines of a single narrator. Individual character vocals (apart from male roles) are consistent, distinctive ( incorporating accents) and in keeping with the storyline. I would have preferred a narrator with a slightly lower and more rounded voice. Otherwise, a very good performance.
I found listening to this story a chore.
