Petticoat Detective is a delightful shift in historicals. A woman detective? Loved it! The sleuthing was top notch and I fell for red herring! Not an easy thing for me to admit since I often figure out who 'done' it. Well done, Margaret Brownley!--Diana Brandmeyer"Pencil Dancer" (10/27/2014)
There are so many opportunities for misunderstandings that create humorous situations to keep you laughing and turning pages. In addition, piquing your interest in history are the references to the Pinkerton Agency and female agents. This story makes you want to research that subject further.--Susan Grondin"Count It All Joys" (12/02/2014)
Brownley's story, based loosely Kate Warne's life (A real-life female detective), is a fresh look at a historical period on the American frontier. Set against a backdrop of America's oldest profession Ms. Brownley takes on a story that is both uplifting and heartbreaking. The characters are realistically written and multi-layered. This looks to be a great new series.--Michele Hagenlock"RT Book Reviews" (11/13/2014)"
A careful blend of mystery and hilarity make this both an exciting and charming read. I loved the characters: the depth of emotions as the author subtly considered the lives and times of sporting women, and the bonds of friendship that surmount the obstacles of class. It wasn't an easy read, but it was a cleansing one, for both the characters and the readers. The dialogue and dialects were as amusing and distinctive as the characters. The twists and turns of the plot sinister and varied, without blocking out hope or love.--Jael Roy"Booklovers Anonymous" (12/09/2014)"
