My review: Undercover Bride by Margaret Brownley

4 stars

Undercover Bride is a light hearted mystery, western, Christian, romance and historical all in one.  I like this series.  Though each one stands alone.  Plenty of characters that I liked, drama and fun.

Pinkerton detective Maggie Cartwright is the main character.  She has come to Arizona territory to find proof and the money from a train heist and murder two years ago.  They believe it was Garrett Thomas. Maggie was sent as a mail order bride to Garrett.

Garrett Thomas is a widower with two young children.  He loves his kids.  He has a scar on his face.  He is a tinker.

Maggie has too lie a lot in her job.  She is also a active Christian and tries to do good.  She also wants to teach Toby and Elise  to pray.

I really enjoyed Toby and  Elise characters, they were cute.  Toby was smart.  I liked his way of trying to figure out how to go to the moon.

There is one scene in church that cracks me up.  It is so vivid a scene. It will definitely bring laughter or at least some chuckles.

The setting for this story is 1882 Arizona Territory.

I liked the ending of the story.  It fit.

I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Barbour Publishing, Inc.  In return I agreed to give honest review of Undercover Bride.
