Book Review: A Match of Wits

I enjoy a mix of fiction. Well, maybe not a very wide range... I don't enjoy suspenseful books so much any more. My fiction reading is mainly for relaxation. And for this reason I enjoy Jen Turano's books. Her writing is fun, her characters are unique and entertaining. She has a very distinctive style.

The beginning of A Match of Wits brings us to the wild western frontier. Agatha Watson is in search of stories to write and publish in the New York Tribune. In her travels, accompanied by her body guard, female companion, and recently acquired pet pig, she runs into Zayne Beckett, a friend from back home in New York. She is on this trip to escape those who have made threats on her life because of her writing. Zayne has buried himself in his mining work to escape his past and the hurt there. Agatha convinces him to return to New York where they both confront what they have been running from.

Yes, it's a fun, fast paced book full of unlikely happenings! But, as with Jen's other books, I enjoyed it. It's something different. Not always believable, but a fun, light hearted, fast paced read!
