A Changed Agent

The Adirondack Pinkertons

De: Tracey J. Lyons

Narrado por: Lauren Ezzo

When schoolteacher Elsie Mitchell meets rugged William Benton on a train platform in Albany, it appears they have nothing in common. He isn't the sort of fellow a proper young woman of the 1890s would ever speak to, much less become involved with. But when she arrives at her small town in the Adirondack Mountains, Elsie is offered a job as caregiver for this mysterious out-of-towner's niece and nephew, who've been tragically orphaned. Heartbroken for them, she accepts.

Unknown to her, William is an undercover Pinkerton agent posing as a lumber-company foreman. He's never wanted family - his work is too dangerous. Yet as Elsie transforms his house into a home and he spends time with the children, he feels drawn to family life - and to Elsie.

As a good Christian, Elsie is troubled by William's secrets...though she does find him intriguing. And when a sinister figure from her past arrives, Elsie and William will have to trust in faith and newfound love to protect their unlikely family from danger.

I could relate to this character. the reluctance of believing in someone again. 2nd chances.

A Captured Heart

A Pinkerton agent is on the hunt for a criminal who’s stolen a lot of bearer bonds, when suddenly he finds himself the guardian of his late sister’s twin children.

Arriving in the area where they believe the culprit is hiding out, he secures the help of the town’s school teacher to care for the kids.

This is a sweet Christian story with well-developed characters and a good plot.

Great Changed Agent!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I loved Elsie's strength and her rules. She is a bit stubborn though.
Will is an undercover Pinkerton agent suddenly in charge of his orphaned niece and nephew in the middle of working a case.. Elsie is not only their new teacher, she also enters into an arrangement to be their live in caregiver. Will and Elsie develop feelings for each other, much to their surprise (not mine).
After much danger and many tense moments there is one exchange I loved..."Mr. Benton! You cannot just kiss away our problems." "Why not"(he says) "Because I said so!"
You have to read or listen to the book yourself. It's very sweet.
Narrator Lauren Ezzo does a wonderful job bringing the story and characters to life.

Lies tentally to controversy

The book was very enjoyable. The characters We're good. I tend not to like stories Where the main characters are involved in a lie. Because near the end there's always the period where the person lied to is upset and we have to go through that do I stay or do I leave period.

Story is boring and narrator is too annoying...

How could the performance have been better?

Narrator is very much overly dramatic and the main male character always sounds like he is hoarse, half asleep, or sick and weak. In one place the story says that he has a strong deep voice, but this is anything but that.

Any additional comments?

I could not finish listening to the story, the narrator is so very annoying and the story is soooooooo slow. I skipped from ch. 8 to the ch. 20, the last chapter, and felt like I hadn't missed anything. Save your credit and listen to something else.

Predictable

The story was predictable and the narrator didn’t do a very good job with the different characters.
