Reviews of THE LOST BARONESS, Book VI of the "Behind the Ranges" series of historical novels by Judith B. Glad


The word on the waterfront about The Lost Baroness

"...captured the feel of the place and the time. It was easy to relax and enjoy the story from beginning to end because the descriptions were accurate and the situations all reasonable. This is a wonderfully intelligent book that does not insult the reader."
	Liisa Penner Clatsop County historian

"The barely tamed life of a West Coast frontier seaport comes vividly to life as Ms. Glad weaves a complex romantic thriller with enough razor's edges and Swords of Damocles for half a dozen stories. As always, her characters are both charming and exasperating in their contradictions, quickly involving the reader in their lives and ensuring we will follow their journeys to the last page. And, while there is nothing particularly unique about her villain, he is nevertheless drawn with sufficient depth to make one's flesh crawl." The Lost Baroness is a mystery wrapped in history and tied with a sparkling ribbon of romance. In fact, it is several mysteries, which just makes reading it all the more of a pleasure.
