Rating:  Summary: Oh Man! What a treat! Review: Ms. Day really has a good thing going! This is a wonderful book to read. Ms. Day does not short change her readers. I can't say enough good things about this book. The discriptions of the Great Earthquake in San Francisco are great! You feel as if you are there, and how truly horrible it must have been to have been in it. The mystery and touch of romance are very well handled by Ms. Day too. Yes, among all the rubble, Fremont finds a murder to solve and some one to fall in love with. I like the way that Ms. Day leads you into the next book too. Letting the cast advance to new places and people. So that you are not stuck in a time warp. Keep going and moving Ms. Day. This is a great read.

Rating:  Summary: I regret I've had to take down the Fremont Jones website. Review: My apologies to readers, but time constrictions have made it necessary for me to take down the Fremont Jones website. This will, however, give me more time to write more and better adventures of Fremont Jones
Rating:  Summary: Pretty darn good Review: This book is about a young heroine, Fremont Jones who has to make something of herself after her business was destroyed in the earthquake of 1906. She has to overcome many plights in order to finally reach her goal. I liked this book because it was different, it didn't make girls seem weak.
Rating:  Summary: Wow!! Couldn't Put It Down!! Review: This book was so intriguing and exciting that I read it all in one sitting! Ms Day make the earthquake and its after-effects fascinating and engrossing. Without Michael and with Mrs. O'Leary missing in action, Fremont sets out to help others while with searching for her MIA landlady. It's realistic and captivating. Her descriptions of San Francisco and the Presidio are right on the money.It's my favorite of all the Fremont Jones novels. I recommend this book highly, along with the rest of the series.

Rating:  Summary: A Gutsy New Heroine AND Making History Come Alive! Review: This book, a sequel to the debut "The Strange Files of Fremont Jones" was a true page-turner. I literally read it all in a single day, finding every opportunity and staying up MUCH too late in order to finish it. Day's sleuth, Fremont Jones, lives in San Francisco, CA, around the time of the Great Quake, which takes place during the setting of this book. Her recounting of the mysteries which unfold in the chaos resulting from the quake renders the events of that time and the reality of what it must have been like to live through the quake compelling and real. Her characters are likeable and frustratingly real -- all the more so because they react in ways we have all seen ourselves react. I can't wait to read her subsequent novels featuring the intrepid Fremont.

Rating:  Summary: A+++ Review: This is my favorite of Dianne Day's books. I enjoy history and the experiences of Fremont Jones during the great earthquake makes that experience more real to me. The development of Fremont and Michael's relationship moves forward. The other characters that are introduced are interesting and well developed. I recommend this book highly to everyone.
Rating:  Summary: Interesting and Fun Historical Mystery w/ Twists Galore Review: This is the second Fremont Jones mystery I've read. I ended up sitting in my bath after it got cold because I had to finish. The book starts out with the great earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco. In the uproar after the quake, Fremont has to track down all kinds of threads of several mysteries. I like Day's ability to keep a multilevel plot going, and the realism of her characters. The only problem is at the very end she ties together all the plots and it just doesn't quite work. However, over all this book is wonderful I'd highly reccomend it.
