Description

New York: Onyx, 1990. Orwig ( San Antonio ) sets her latest at the end of the Civil War in the picturesque Southwestern town of the title. The book's best feature is its winning heroine, April Danby, who sings bawdy songs in a saloon but maintains her virtue in honor of a boy she fell in love with at age 12. But Orwig wobbles on credibility. Noah McCloud, brother of a Confederate soldier whom April befriended in the final hours of his life, is convinced that she has purloined the family gold that Ralph was carrying but about which April claims ignorance. For all his clever schemes to catch April in her supposed lie, the obvious solution to the mystery doesn't occur to Noah until halfway through the novel. - From Publishers Weekly. Lines/hinge crease/signed to Paula/tite. Mass Market Paperback. Acceptable.
