Lauren Linwood's latest historical, set in San Francisco in the 1870s, has all the trappings that I love. There's mistaken identity, duplicity, mystery, kidnapping, intrigue--how could so much be packed into this book?I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, and found myself holding my breath until the current situation resolved itself. I could feel the tension in the air at the card table, I could see Lily adopting the persona of her mother with each stroke of eyeliner she applied. And, of course, San Francisco is a lovely backdrop against which to have events unfold.I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to anyone who loves a traditional historical set in the United States. Now, I'm dying to read Ms. Linwood's other stories!
