"The Bachelor Girl's Guide To Murder"
Rachel McMillan
Inspired by their fascination with all things Sherlock Holmes, best friends and flatmates Merinda and Jem launch a consulting detective business. The deaths of young Irish women lead Merinda and Jem deeper into the mire of the city’s underbelly, where the high hopes of those dreaming to make a new life in Canada are met with prejudice and squalor.
While searching for answers, donning disguises, and sneaking around where no proper ladies would ever go, they pair with Jasper Forth, a police constable, and Ray DeLuca, a reporter in whom Jem takes a more than professional interest. Merinda could well be Toronto’s premiere consulting detective, and Jem may just find a way to put her bachelor girlhood behind her forever–if they can stay alive long enough to do so.
*********************************
Adventurous, creative and mysterious. This book is filled with surprises! Fans of Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes will definitely want to read this book.
The characters are a bit quirky and zany, but likeable. Well, most of them. Merinda tended to get on my nerves. I know that she's supposed to be independent and all about women's rights, but she was also selfish and self-centered.
However, I really enjoyed Jem's character. She was sweet, gentle and patient with Merinda. Jem truly wanted to help people while it seemed that Merinda just wanted to expand her business. Jem also knew what she wanted and didn't want in a man. I found that refreshing. A lot of Christian fiction books have their women characters as confused and easily persuaded when it comes to the men in their life. Or they don't know a good thing when they see it, but Jem did!
I am curious as to how Merinda and Jem became friends though.
Reading this time era was different for me, but I really enjoyed it. The situations that Jem and Merinda got themselves into were humorous, yet terrifying. It had me thinking, "What would I do in their situation?"
The "by the way" footnotes were helpful and cute, but at the same time distracting. Such a unique and lovely way of filling you in without boring you with sordid details.
Those who love mysteries, romance and historical fiction should read this book!

Westward Wedding Journey
Delsie Radford is going to make it to California, no matter the danger or difficulty. Her father may have kept her and her sister apart, but Delsie refuses to miss her sister's wedding—even with only eighteen days to get there. And she's found the perfect escort in Pony Express rider Myles Patton.
Myles can't believe it when a pretty socialite hires him to take her cross-country through rough terrain and dangerous territory. Surely she'll quit before they reach their destination—he's known girls like her before. But the longer they ride together, the more Myles notices Delsie's toughness and kindness beneath her polished exterior. And though they may be worlds apart…they might just be perfect for each other.
**********************************
This was a beautifully written story that involves a lot of adventure, trust, love and experiencing the unknown. At first I thought that this would be a book that just dragged on and on, but it was the exact opposite. Stacy Henrie knows how to write in such a way that keeps her readers hooked till the very end.
Deslie's faith in God was strong and consistent. She wanted Myles to share her faith, but she didn't judge him because he didn't or push him into being something he wasn't ready to be yet. She waited patiently and her reward was worth the wait.
I was a bit concerned about how it would turn out. Of course, the guy and the girl always end up together at the end, but this one kept me guessing until the very end. And what a beautiful end it was!
Anyone who enjoys reading historical fiction with adventure and romance should read this book. You will love it!
I will be looking forward to reading more books by Stacy Henrie.
