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 Review

The author did a really good job of bringing the characters to life and the scenery. My first book by Tracey J. Lyons and definitely will not be my last. Loved her writing. Some of the names in the book were so unusual, that was really awesome. Owen is a widower and owns Murphy Camp but it is not doing good due to his grieving for the last couple of years, Lily decided no longer to be a Pinkerton Agent and wants something to invest in, she chooses to be a partner with Owen at Murphy Camp. A fast reading book with great characters and some funny scenes. I received this book through NetGalley.
