Young Emma Bennett is en route to California to begin a career as an investigative reporter. When the stagecoach she’s driving fails just outside the one-horse town of Onyx Falls, Montana, she’s obliged to stay awhile until repairs can be made. And that’s when Emma stumbles upon a diary.
The seemingly abandoned ghost town has secrets lurking around almost every corner. Mystery swirls around the sudden death of Native American man who was the fiancé of a wealthy young socialite, shuttered businesses, and a corrupt tycoon. Can Emma and her new beaux, Jack Maverick, unravel the clues and solve the mysterious disappearance of Isabel Monroe before they disappear, too?
Despite the friendliness of Sarah, proprietress of the Bennett Inn and Jack, the town’s saloon owner, Emma feels “the town still had a creepy, almost haunting atmosphere.” When Emma finds a journal written in a feminine hand, the last two sentences send her spinning.
It turns out that Isabel Monroe disappeared shortly after inheriting a huge family fortune. Isabel was romantically connected to a mysterious older man when she disappeared. The more Emma reads in Isabel’s diary, the creepier her beaux, Thomas Benson, becomes. And what about the sudden death of Isabel’s fiancé, Dakota? Hints of a hidden treasure abound. Will Ezekial “Zeke,” the unofficial town detective, be able to provide any insight or clues? Will Emma’s investigative journalist skills come in handy as she and Jack try to solve the mystery of what happened to Isabel? Meanwhile, sparks fly between Emma and the dashing Jack. Is Onyx Falls just a brief stop-over for Emma, or will it become a permanent destination?
Set in amid the rugged beauty of Montana during stagecoach and saloon days, Ghost Town Secrets is a nimble and enjoyable read. Briskly paced and populated with full-bodied, three-dimensional characters, it’s a clever and entertaining blend of good old fashioned Western, mystery, gentle romance, and a rip-roarin, brain teasin’ Whodunit?
The text has a few typos. Examples: “Whisps of strawberry blonde hair.” “Emma pulled on Cinnamon’s reigns to make her stop.” Every once in a while the dialogue seems more present day than Wild West era, such as “What can I do for you guys?” Or “… getting these headaches and stuff.” But these are minor issues and don’t detract from the overall read.
Indeed, anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, frothy Whodunit set in the Wild West will enjoy Ghost Town Secrets. 'Fize you I’d saddle up and get ready to ride this read right now, pardner.
