Second in the Velvet Shoe Collection, AN UNLIKELY BEGINNING is a romantic mystery that got me thinking, laughing, sighing and crying. They say that a good mystery should leave you anticipating with each page turned. This one certainly did not disappoint. And they say a good historical writer can take you back in time. Well, I was hereby transported to another place and time. Set in 1920's crime-ridden Detroit, a blue feather leads seventeen-year-old Ruth Squire on a search for her missing fiancée, Peter Kirby. She cleverly disguises herself as a seductive jazz singer in order to gain entrance into the seedier side of town. Mobsters and Riff-Raffs fill the pages as Ruth pursues her rescue mission. She follows one telling clue after another. Back-history is trickled in, which makes the story even more interesting. Overall, AN UNLIKELY BEGINNING is a fabulously entertaining read worthy of five gold stars. Having already read the first in the series (An Unlikely Arrangement), I'm now ready to dive into Book three.

Another riveting book from award winning author, Patty Wiseman. Historical romance has never been so good.
