I loved this book and I love these two heroines! Many similarities to Trixie and Honey. They even find a diamond ring in a tumbledown cottage. There are horses and a lake and woods and trails...The modern twist in this story is the role that race plays. Bee is African American and her father bought the plantation where their ancestors had been owned as slaves. And the family that owned them was Abby’s. So they have the same last name since slaves took the last names of the families that freed them. So they agree that they are kind of family. By the end they are definitely family.
Abby decides to clear her father’s name. He’s a lawyer that was tried by public opinion and lays in a coma from a blow to the head. He doesn’t wake up in this one, but I’m sure he will. Abby and Bee solve the mystery and help an old neighbor get back property that was legally hers just like Trixie and Honey would do.
My only complaint was that all the ends were tied up in summary pages at the end. Still, I loved it and I can’t wait to read the next one.… (more)
