Well...I don't know. I can't tell if this author wanted to write a sci-fi novel or a historical fiction novel. It just wasn't for me. There were parts near the beginning that really intrigued me and were well written, and then it just took a nose-dive.

a great flow to the mystery and story, the ending falling a little flat

Lone Women starts off with a bang. When we meet Adelaide, she is running from her past, the death of her family, and she is going to try to make a go of it, alone, in Montana. I was invested from the beginning. Yes, in Adelaide, but also in finding out what she was keeping in the massive trunk she brought along. Along the way, we meet a variety of characters, although none are very fleshed out. I would have liked to learn more about a few of the characyers, especially Sam and his mom, Grace. This book surprised me. It didn't really fit into any one genre, which I liked more than I thought I would. It was a relatively short book, but it definitely packed a punch.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for the e-ARC to review. All opinions are my own.
