I thoroughly enjoyed Amy Jo Fleming's addition to the Bandit Creek series. What's not to like about a feisty heroine and a well plotted mystery?Charlotte Fraser is a totally modern miss - for 1911 that is - but is excited and a little apprehensive about taking over her first teaching position and running her own schoolroom. She knows that the previous teacher disappeared from Bandit Creek without a trace, and when she finds a letter is sure that something bad has happened to her. She also suspects that Otto Dredger, one of the school governors, has something to do with it. For as much as she is wary of Otto, Charlotte, is also aware of Sheriff Alec Forrest.The mystery trails from Montana to Texas and back again and all is resolved in a way that does not disappoint the reader.
