4.0 out of 5 stars
Good fast paced adventure,
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,
By Tamara J. Buchli (Yorktown, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Capricorn Stone (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

This is my favorite book by Madeleine Brent. I love the heroine and her resilience. The plot is very unexpected.
