Dianne Day writes of San Francisco at the turn of the century through the eyes of her independent, plucky heroine, Caroline Fremont Jones - just call her Fremont please!!

San Francisco comes to life beneath her pen, from the thick pea-soup fog, to the sundrenched hills, from the seamy life on fisherman's Wharf to the mansions of the rich and famous. She draws a picture of life with Tong wars, earthquakes, fires, and the unexpected beauty that is uniquely San Francisco.

Fremont Jones is a young woman, stubborn, resourceful, and courageous, who is on her own in the city. She meets murder and mayham at every turn of the page.

The books are an interesting, page turning delight and I do recommend them to those who like victorian life laced with mystery and adventure.
