Solving Cases & Finding Love!
Gabriella (Gabe) and Nicholas grew up with a gang of thieves and pick pockets. Although they had been best friends, fate separated them. Gabe ended up in an orphanage and, as an adult, became a lonely seamstress with little means. Nicholas, because he was adopted by a rich man, became a sought-after member of New York society’s exclusive Four Hundred group.
Through a variety of circumstances, they each attempt to break into a safe belonging to one of the pillars of society—and are shocked to run into each other in the process. Despite Gabe’s unhappiness that Nicholas had never tracked her down after they were separated, she realizes the agency she has started would benefit from his help.
This tale follows the two through the rousing exploits they face while working cases. Criticism from society, adventure, danger and humor abound, along with surprising revelations about their families.
The residents of the boarding house where Gabe lives make up the ragtag group of operatives working for her agency. They provide additional comic relief along with some mystery. Faith is part of this 5-star book. I recommend it to those who enjoy romance or period stories with a sprinkle of fun, along with a touch of cloak and dagger.
