"Readers will finish this engaging book wishing that it had gone on
for many more pages."
-- Publishers Weekly "First-person diary entries and letters bring
this nineteenth-century ancestor to life... [this book] will appeal
to historical-fiction readers and Civil War buffs."
-- Booklist "Historical action, romance, and modern mystery unite
as Maggie and her crew solve the mystery of The Spy on the
Tennessee Walker."
-- Foreword Reviews "The Spy on the Tennessee Walker is deliciously
entertaining! Through old letters, flashbacks, and the modern-day
investigations of the San Francisco-based Fiori family, the secrets
of Civil War nurse Victoria Alma Cardworthy are finally unraveled,
a hundred and fifty years later. Amateur sleuth Maggie Fiori is a
thoroughly contemporary character, but thanks to author Linda Lee
Peterson's facility with historic fiction, Victoria will capture
every reader's heart."
-- Edgar Award-winning author Naomi Hirahara, author of the Mas
Arai and Ellie Rush mystery series "The Spy on the Tennessee Walker
is an eloquent and impassioned love letter to history and heroism,
Southern cooking and storytelling, secret-keeping and clever
sleuthing, and--above all--to smart, sassy, and fearless women.
'Write what you know, ' goes the old saying. Linda Lee Peterson
wrote the book--again!--on smart, sassy, and fearless."
-- New York Times-bestselling author Jefferson Bass "A captivating
tale of generations-long hidden secrets of spies, forbidden love,
and the Civil War. I am a Linda Lee Peterson fan."
-- Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon and New York Times-bestselling author
of My Sister's Grave "Linda Lee Peterson returns with another
stellar story featuring San Francisco reporter-turned-sleuth Maggie
Fiori. In The Spy on the Tennessee Walker, Peterson moves deftly
between the present day and the Civil War as she spins a compelling
and moving tale of Maggie's ancestors. Expertly plotted and
skillfully executed, The Spy is a powerful and irresistible tale
that will keep you reading late into the night. Highly
recommended."
-- Sheldon Siegel, New York Times-bestselling author of the Mike
Daley/Rosie Fernandez novels
