brieizziye 's review for:

Girl in Disguise by Greer Macallister
3.0

The story of Kate Warne is always fascinating, especially with little being known about her beyond the first female detective for the Chicago Pinkertons and then losing most of those files in The Great Chicago Fire.

The books gives many stories that Kate was involved in and dives into her life but little was truly discussed about the courage and strength that Kate had to show by applying and getting hired into a job that was previously only for men. Pinkerton's story could also be covered with the backlash.

The book is completely written with a 'Kate showed strength by this......' instead of giving details and letting the reader feel her power. There are romance twists but feel that they happen an inappropriate time and steal from her character.

The other male characters are difficult to sort out, as they never become well developed in the book and are just angsty men against having a women in their agency.
