5.0 out of 5 stars Marthellen & The Major, September 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Marthellen and the Major (Carson City Chronicles, Book 2) (Paperback)

After reading this second book in the series, feel like the Judge & Judith and their family are part of my family. Winsome characters developing and a good feel for the times of 1880 in Carson City, Nevada. It's refreshing to read of an older married couple and their adventures. Hope there's lot more books in this series.
