4.0 out of 5 stars Good fast paced adventure, January 7, 2002
This review is from: The Capricorn Stone (Hardcover)
Madeleine Brent is an easy writer to read. When you feel too stressed to enjoy a more literary work and just want to lose yourself in a relaxing adventure this is the way to go.
Unfortunately finding her work is difficult, few remain on the library shelves even less at the booksellers. This charming story is about two gently raised sisters who suddenly find their lives thrown into chaos when their father is killed during the performance of a robbery revealing to the world the secret of his livelihood. The younger sister is a little airy headed and just one of the responsibilities that Bridie has to contend with in her new found world of poverty. Her adventures centre around solving the puzzle of where her father's horde is hidden and the other interested parties who will stop at nothing to get their hands on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book from a wonderful writer, March 9, 2007
By 
Tamara J. Buchli (Yorktown, VA United States) - See all my reviews
What can I say? It's impossible to pick a favorite from among the books that Peter O'Donell wrote as Madeleine Brent. I love them all. Each one has interesting settings, breathtaking adventure, and -- most of all -- a strong, brave, and intelligent heroine. And each book has something else -- an extra something -- which makes me love it in particular.

In _The Capricorn Stone_ that 'something extra' is Nathan McFee. I just love a cowboy. And McFee is my all-time favorite fictional cowboy. O'Donnell -- a Brit! -- somehow managed to create in McFee a cowboy hero who is iconic but never trite.

5 stars isn't nearly enough -- I'd give this book (and all of O'Donnell's books) 10 stars if I could.

2.0 out of 5 stars not my favorite Madeline Brent, March 9, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Having just read the absolutely wonderful "Golden Urchin", I am now making my way through Madeline Brent's novels. This one was OK but definitely not the best. Our hero Nate was not as well drawn as the typical Madeline Brent hero. Good mystery though and engaging plucky heroine. The romance part was blah.
