At one time the Farrell's were a very wealthy family with impeccable standing with the high society. They were well respected and invited to all social gathers. That changed one day when Jim Farrell was hanged for murder. Their life turned upside down and the daughters were determined to prove their father was innocent. After much discussion they hire a Pinkerton agent to prove their father's innocence. Will this detective be able to prove that their father was hanged for a crime he did not commit?
As each of the three sisters are introduced into the story , we find each one with their own turmoil of dealing with their fall from high society and the death of their beloved father. The town would whisper as they saw the family and made the sisters feel unwanted and perhaps a bit ashamed. The author does a great job of describing the coal mines. The men and even young boys worked hard in the mines for little pay. The work was extremely dangerous and a disaster hits the mine one day. Who will perish in this accident?
What secrets will be uncovered as the agent continues his investigation? As you meet each sister in the story you come to enjoy their different personalities and total commitment to clearing their father's name. I loved getting to know the sisters and read as they each discover their hopes and dreams. The author has written a very good mystery that had me guessing till the end. I will be looking for more books from this author to read and enjoy her great stories that come to life.
I received a copy of this book from The BookClub Network for an honest review.
