Guest Post from Tracey Lyons

My family and I spent a lot of time in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. When I came up with the idea for the Pinkerton series, I knew the books had to be set in a place that I loved. The Heart of An Agent, book 2 in The Adirondack Pinkertons series takes place at an Adirondack great camp. Imagine a time when people would travel from faraway places to hike the many trails or lounge on a porch in one of the famed Adirondack chairs. These intricate, grand structures, built during the latter part of the nineteenth century are part of the unique landscape and history that makes up the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. I enjoyed creating the fictional Murphy camp, the setting for Lily Handland and Owen Murphy’s story.

My Thoughts

This is the first book by Tracey I have read. I am so happy about how much I enjoyed this book! I loved the setting and the characters. Though now I feel like I need to go back and read book one to have a further understanding of Lily. I thought the character development was well done as was the romance side of things. Nothing was over the top and the flow of the story was perfect. Historical fiction is my favorite and I am eager to read more by this author. 
Five stars.
