Regina Jenning's Courting Misfortune is a fun book about a female Pinkerton agent. CalistaYork accepts a case in her hometown with family all over the place. She is trying to earn a spot with the famous Pinkerton detectives. Unfortunately, not only her family but Missionary minded Matthew Cook shows up and wants to reform the wayward Miss york.
I love the humor that shines throughout this book along with faith and family. The plot is engaging and the characters are delightful. So if you want a fun read on a chilly day grab a pot of tea and settle in for an enjoyable day.
I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
Calista York needs one more successful case as a Pinkerton operative to secure her job. When she's assigned to find the kidnapped daughter of a mob boss, she's sent to the rowdy mining town of Joplin, Missouri, despite having extended family in the area. Will their meddling expose her mission and keep Lila Seaton from being recovered?
When Matthew Cook decided to be a missionary, he never expected to be sent only a short train ride away. While fighting against corruption of all sorts, Matthew hears of a baby raffle being held to raise funds for a children's home. He'll do what he can to stop it, but he also wants to stop the reckless Miss York, whose bad judgment consistently seems to be putting her in harm's way.
Calista doesn't need the handsome pastor interfering with her investigation, and she can't let her disguise slip. Her job and the life of a young lady depend on keeping Matthew in the dark.
