Fun, Danger & Opposites Attract!
Norman Nesbit is a clueless scientist unaware of the many social blunders he makes and the proper Beatrix Waterbury, part of the New York City social set, are thrown together during a train robbery. Together, the differences between the two of them make for some zany situations. Add in eccentric Aunt Gladys, a pack of unusual house cats along with a child prodigy, and chuckles abound.
However, there are serious subjects including the plight of working women, the suffragette movement, and the very real danger that follows Norman at every turn.
Never the less, Norman’s habit of unwittingly offending scores of people, along with Beatrix’s attempt to remain incognito at Chicago’s famous Marshall Field’s Department Store, makes for some entertaining reading.
This fast-moving tale will keep your interest from the first page until the revelation at the book’s end of the one behind all the danger. The character’s faith is an attractive part of the story, and despite being part of a series, this installment stands on its own. I recommend this 5-star book to those who like well-written historical, adventures with a sprinkle of humor.
