Midwest Book Review of Paper Woman, May 2007

Christy Tillery French’s review of Paper Woman for the
Midwest Book Review starts its run 1 May. Scroll down a little on the site to find the review, or read it here in full:

Widow Sophie Barton helps her father run his printing press
and tries to stay out of politics in the small town of Alton, GA, which remains
peaceful while redcoats and colonists clash in other parts of the colonies.
Sophie’s father, however, has been acting mysterious and Sophie suspects he has
aligned himself against King George. Although Sophie is being courted by the
major of the British garrison, she isn’t so sure she wants to become his
mistress and move to England with him. When her father’s burned body is
discovered, Sophie is placed under house arrest with orders to decode a secret
message meant for him. She escapes with Mathias, her former lover, and embarks
South, accompanied by her brother and Mathias’s uncle, in hopes of finding the
person who killed her father. Their trip turns into an electrifying journey as they
traverse through Floridian swamps, sail along the Caribbean, and end up in
Havana, Cuba, pursued by the major and his lieutenant, a demented man who
enjoys torturing those who oppose him, as well as two Spanish assassins.

Adair takes her reader on a thrilling adventure with Paper Woman. Packed with action and
breath-taking suspense interwoven around a fascinating time in American
history, with the perfect blend of romance, this is an exhilarating story that
will captivate the reader from beginning to end.
