![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() WHAT’S NOT COOL…ġ) On the other hand, the letters were the most unrealistic part of the book. And then, when they’re in disguise, Nell always seems to slip up while Aunt Kitty always remains in character.ĥ) The letters between Jemma and Nell have some fun codes to decipher. I love how Nell keeps calling her “Aunt Kitty” even though her aunt wants to be called “Kate”. (And to top it all, there really IS a historical event that connects Lincoln to Pickerton.)Ĥ) The bickering between Nell and Aunt Kitty is hilarious. I love how Nell helps out! She and Aunt Kitty get to wear some fabulous disguises □ģ) And oh! How Lincoln is brought into the story is a history-lover’s dream. ![]() (And the plot of this book includes some of her cases!)Ģ) The cases involving Aunt Kitty and Nell are fun to read. What’s really cool is that Aunt Kitty is based on the real life Pickerton agent: Kate Warne. I had not read much about them before this book. WHAT’S COOL…ġ) I love the historical connection to the Pickerton Detective Agency. And the only person who can help reveal the truth had to escape on the Underground Railroad to Canada. As well, she plans to prove that the fatal shot to her Uncle Matthew (fired by her now-dead father) was an accident. So now it’s up to Nell to show how useful she can be to her aunt. Reason #2: Nell’s father killed Aunt Kitty’s husband. Reason #1: She’s busy enough as it is as the only female detective of the famed Pickerton Agency. Basic plot: Nell is orphaned and is sent to live with her Aunt Kitty. ![]()
