Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightful and original
Review: Thououghly delightful;the best yet in a series which keeps getting better and better. As a native San Franciscan whose grandmother lived through the 1907 earthquake, the descriptions in the book ring true. The heroine, investigator, Fremont Jones is refreshingly original. The plot is fast moving and the story peopled with memorable secondary characters. I look forward to more from the talented Ms.Day and the delightful Ms.Jones and company.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: From one Jones to another
Review: We've all heard the expression "Keeping up with the Joneses"...well from one Jones about another one, I love Fremont! I had the opportunity to read Diane Day's first three novels sequentially within a short period of time and came to respect and enjoy Fremont's adventures.

It isn't until this novel that she really becomes her own person, not a stale copy of the century's earliest feminists. Although I felt that the end may have come together much too nicely, (what real buff likes a clean tight ending) I felt there were enough twists and turns to keep me thinking about more than one suspect at a time.

I am really looking forward to reading Death Train.
