In Places Hidden by Tracie Peterson review

As a Bethany House blog reviewer, it is my privilege to receive a book once a month from Bethany House.  I have always loved Tracie Peterson's writing and find her characters and story lines rich and inviting.  All of her books are intriguing and draw the reader in and this book did that as well.  Set in San Francisco, with one of the main characters being Irish was a sure win for me~since my all of my grandparents settled in San Francisco in the early 1900's  after leaving Ireland.
Here is a synopsis of the story:
"On her way to San Francisco to find her brother, Caleb, who went missing three months ago, Camriann Coulter meets Judith and Kenzie, who both have their own mysteries to solve in the booming West Coast city. The women decide to help each other, including rooming together and working at Kenzie's cousin's chocolate factory.

Camri's search for her brother, an attorney, leads her deep into the political corruption of the city--and into the acquaintance of Patrick Murdock, a handsome Irishman who was saved from a false murder charge by Caleb. Patrick challenges all of Camri's privileged beliefs, but he knows more about what happened to her brother than anyone else. Together, they move closer to the truth behind Caleb's disappearance. But as the stakes rise and threats loom, will Patrick be able to protect Camri from the dangers he knows lie in the hidden places of the city?"

I especially liked that the story was set in the early 1900's and I easily related to Patrick Murdock.  I found it could be a current day story with the emphasis on Womens rights and sex slavery.  I will  definitely plan on following the series and would rate the book a 10 out of 10.  If you love historical fiction, you will love this book.  Great job done by Tracie.

Disclaimer:  I received a free copy of the book from Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing. 
No review, positive or otherwise was required; all opinions are my own.
