Clare is an appealing protagonist, and Stabenow does an excellent job incorporating real historical figures into a nicely paced story. For fans of the author and of historical mysteries. * Library Journal * The Harvey Girl marks the debut of a brilliant and charming new detective series. This mystery is packed with fascinating historic details, vivid characters, and a clever plot that moves as fast as the Old West trains so beautifully depicted in the story. As a New Mexican with an interest in the real history of the Harvey Girls, I adored this novel and can’t wait for the next one. Highly, highly recommended! * Douglas Preston, co-author of the celebrated Pendergast series *
