There’s romance, suspense and, for fans of historical fiction, the ongoing tense realization that there’s nothing counterfeit about the inequalities that continue to haunt our country. - Gabriel Valjan, Agatha and Anthony-nominated author of the Company Files series and the Shane Cleary Mystery series. “The Counterfeit Wife by Mally Becker has it all — adventure, romance and deceit. The second book in the Revolutionary War Mysteries will sweep you up in the twists and turns of a suspenseful story about traitors, murderers and counterfeiters. Follow Becca and Daniel from Philadelphia’s high society to its back alleys and docks where we learn that there is more than one kind of counterfeiter at the heart of this story. Becker gives us a complex heroine in Rebecca Parcell. Conflicted about her attraction to Daniel, her partner in espionage, she comes into her own as a budding feminist. With smooth-as-ice prose and pitch-perfect dialogue, Becker has done it again. History and mystery lovers won’t want to miss the latest installment of the Revolutionary War Mysteries.” — Tina deBellegarde, Agatha and Derringer-nominated author of the Batavia-on-Hudson Mystery Series |
