About this ebook
It is November of 1880, and the future looks promising for Annie and Nate Dawson. Nate’s law practice is taking off. Annie has made the transition from pretend clairvoyant to a successful financial consultant, and as a couple, they are looking forward to spending their first Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays together.
For Robert Livingston, the owner San Francisco’s newest grand emporium, the holidays are shaping up to be a dismal failure if he can’t figure out how to stop whoever is stealing from his department store, the Silver Strike Bazaar. When he hires the Dawsons to investigate, Annie and Nate discover that behind the doors of Livingston’s “Palace of Plenty,” nothing is quite what it seems.

Very good read. But towards end - the book lost its appeal for me to read more on the romance but more on the back story. Almost 5 stars. If character building had more interest in keeping it from seeming too contrived & much like any other read.

Enjoy the story of Anne and husband Nate as they unraveled the crimes of theft at one of the large department stores in San Francisco and the murder and story behind it of their dress designer, Marie F. and the influences that the black slaves had with their sewing and design of both designer and the new ready to wear in America.

A delightful book that keeps you guessing who did what and why! An enjoyable read with numerous surprises and twists. I particularly liked the attention to detail to reflect the era of the 1880's. The details extend past the housing, the class system and extends to racial issues. An excellent read.
