Ellie Moore was born into the theater community. After her parents’ tragic deaths, she is
raised by theater friends and eventually becomes the personal assistant to one
of Chicago’s premiere actresses. When
the actress sets her sights on London, Ellie is left behind and gets herself
blackballed from the theater district.
Without skills outside of the theater she has little hope for gaining
employment. Using the acting skills she
has learned through her life in the theater, Ellie manages to finagle a job
with the Pinkerton Detective Agency. She
is sent to Arizona to assist a senior agent in investigating a string of silver
thefts. The plan soon falls apart and
Ellie finds herself playing, not one, but two rolls of a lifetime!
Ellie definitely has spunk and determination. Unfortunately for her, she also acts and
speaks without giving thought to the consequences she will inevitably have to
deal with. Trying to present herself as
two different women causes Ellie to create an intricate deception to fool the townsfolk
while she attempts to learn how to be a detective with no training and no
help. She does not easily give up and
works to find solutions to the problem she faces without complaining. She has to deal with what she learns about
God in the midst of her investigation and how to deal with the man she has
fallen in love with when he thinks she is someone else. Overall, Love
In Disguise is a nice story and fun to read.
