Title Description
Fremont Jones is hungry for independence. She's traded in her conventional life in Boston for a career as a "type-writer" in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. She soon discovers that in doing her job she's transcribing her way into a wealth of mystery and mortal danger. A client meets an untimely death that Fremont suspects is linked to the paper she typed for him, of which she can recall but one small fragment. And her attempts to disentangle reality and imagination in the gothic tales penned by Edgar Allan Partridge, whose demeanor is one of terror under the barest restraint, send her up the rocky California coast on a mission of discovery from which she may not return.
"...top marks for...crisp, witty dialogue;...cleverly conceived plot; and darkly menacing touches of the macabre..." (Booklist)

| I very much enjoyed this slightly quirky mystery. The story itself is compelling, but the unique and lovable characters make it truly delightful. |

| I still haven't figured out which was worse - the book or the reader. But it doesn't matter - I won't be continuing with this series. Giving this a "poor" rating is being generous. |
