Love in Disguise
By Carol Cox
Ellie Moore’s “secure” job as personal assistant to an
actress disappears overnight, as her mistress leaves Ellie behind for the
spotlight of Europe. Left alone in the
middle of Chicago and winter with a trunk of costumes and barely enough money
to pay her rent, Ellie decides she’ll do just about anything for work. What she didn’t expect was that she would be
using her knowledge of theater to secure an undercover job with the Pinkertons:
find out who is stealing silver shipments from mines in Pickford, Arizona. Disguised as a widow – Lavinia - looking for
investment opportunities, Ellie sets out to find the culprit. But, Ellie soon discovers that a vivacious
red-head is much better at getting people to talk than a widow – enter Ellie’s alter
ego, Jessie. Can Ellie maintain both
characters without discovery and still catch the culprit? And will “Jessie” steal Ellie’s chance at true
love when the man discovers the truth?
Love in Disguise
was a well written, fun read. The twists
and turns of the story kept me engaged and entertained from beginning to
end. I love that Ellie struggles to find
faith in God, when all along God is ordering the events of her life – so like
us many times! This book will keep you
guessing from beginning to end “whodunit!?!”.
I enjoyed reading this book and it was good enough to pass along to a
friend. I’m giving it an A – good read. Finish your summer with something fun!
