Girl in Disguise
by Greer Macallister

 

Great historical fiction about Kate Warne, the first female Pinkerton agent. It begins in 1856 Chicago, where Kate has to use her quick mind, independent spirit and knack for deception to solve the cases she is assigned to. Like Nellie Bly, the investigative reporter, Kate faces the misogynistic and ignorant views toward women being anything in life but wives and mothers. Sadly 161 years later these small minded thoughts are still prevalent. This story was so well-written I felt as if I was on the case with Kate trying to find the criminals and even saving a President-Elect's life. I would have loved to meet Kate Warne, a true pioneer of women! -Lisa

Steamships once plied the waters of Narragansett Bay, carrying thousands of guests to feasts of clams prepared in every way imaginable at scenic spots like Rocky Point and Crescent Park. After hurricanes and pollution destroyed Rhode Island's soft-shell clam and oyster beds, the quahog became the state's favorite bivalve, and Rhode Islanders took to their automobiles and drove to the beach for clam cakes and chowder at the shacks and chowder houses that carried on the old traditions. Quahogging remains a major business in Rhode Island, where men and women continue to make a living from the sea. The long lines at take-out windows attest that the future of Rhode Island's clam shacks is secure as they successfully balance changing tastes with time-honored recipes.
