From Booklist In the third P. K. Pinkerton title, business is booming for 12-year-old detective P. K. in 1862 Virginia City. Things take an unexpected turn when P. K. is kidnapped and then hired by mysterious Opal Blossom to go to Carson City and investigate whether her fiancé, “Poker Face” Jace, who is also P. K.’s mentor, is two-timing her. There, amidst the political wheeling and dealing around Nevada’s impending statehood, P. K. discovers the woman Jace is courting. Violetta De Baskerville isn’t as she appears, and Jace’s life may be in danger, but P. K., a master of disguises, has secrets, too; and protecting them—and Jace—means deciding whom to trust and what to reveal before it’s too late. The Wild West setting again comes alive through colorful characters—both new and returning allies and foes, abundant period detail, and the ever-engaging, P. K., a half Sioux loner whose colloquial, lively account also incorporates issues from facing prejudice and past tragedy to finding the meaning of friendship, self-acceptance, and acceptance by others. A don’t-miss for series followers, who’ll enjoy learning more about P. K.’s history—and possible future—in this humorous, suspenseful, ultimately heartfelt tale. Grades 4-7. --Shelle Rosenfeld

It's not a great example of perfect report style grammar. But the writing is solidly in character all the time. It doesn't jump perspective like some other not so good children stories. I really love that it has a main character with what could be called a disability. And it doesn't really gimmick that up. It's just part of the character. And the character finds techniques to overcome it. Just awesome.That it's set in Virginia City, which is a relatively close, awesome ghost town is fantastic. If I had more ambition I would comb the books and make a map to follow next time we're there.That there are "cameos" of actual figures of historical significance, great.Creative, and all the hard work of making it cohesive and immersive is something I truly, really, deeply appreciate. Especially in a book I can share with my child.Re-reading some of my old favorites with my son, well I'm horrified at the misogyny, and lack of effort to engage with the reader as someone of intelligence (I'm not saying genius, but c'mon, kids are not dumb).

Once again, a Winner By Hearth's Fyre I've raved about Caroline's earlier books and other series; now I have to continue promoting the great work she's doing with PK Pinkerton. Once again, this book is highly entertaining and educational BUT Caroline's work is so much more than that. She weaves together Great Ideas in ways that NO OTHER AUTHOR is attempting. Her work stands alone as a unique glimpse into areas of human nature that aren't often explored in literature. Read it and you'll see. Kids enjoy it; adults will be floored.

There were a few areas that began to feel a bit tedious, but all in all, a fun read with a not completely unexpected twist at the end. Too bad the final book in the series isn't yet available in the US.
