Book Review:

This is the second book in the series. This time I have already read and reviewed the first book which is Murder in Old Bombay. Do you have to read the first book before this one, not really but you will miss out on some information that is mentioned. The author doesn’t really go into the back history so as always, I would say yes read the first book. I gave this book 4 stars.

In this book Jim and Diana are newly married. He has a job in Chicago and leaves Diana in New York. She is still new to the United States and isn’t comfortable. Jim’s employee does send money every week to her to help with living expenses. She hasn’t heard from Jim in a long time, and she gets a strange visitor one day who is seeking out Jim. This person was sent a letter from Jim, and he really needs to speak with Jim. Diana is upset that this stranger has heard from her husband and yet Jim hasn’t written her. Come to find out Jim is really deep into his job. Diana decides to go to Chicago and look for him because she believes he is in trouble.

Things are not what they seem when she arrives in a Chicago. She is still learning things about our country and the world’s fair is there with new inventions. The city has a lot of people who has invested this fair, and everyone is out to protect their assets. She is able to befriend several people who she isn’t sure she can trust but she needs help.

I really enjoy the historical points in the story and the adventures that she finds herself in. It is fun seeing her trying to understand what our country is like and her not really getting it.

I would recommend this book for the fun and adventures.
