    About this audiobook

    Colorado!

    Some came for freedom; others, to build a new life. But in 1858, when gold is discovered in the Colorado region, thousands of desperate men and women descend on Denver like a hungry swarm. Homesteaders struggle to hold onto their claims, but none are immune to the effects of gold fever. Wagon train veteran Chet Harris risks his life to repeat the success he found in the California gold fields. Mineral expert Luke Brando masquerades as a banker, while his wife hides a yearning for riches of her own. And young Cathy Blake discovers just how far she’ll go to defeat a voluptuous rival. But the greatest challenge belongs to General Lee Burke, one of the original pioneers of the Oregon Trail. Under orders from U.S. President James Buchanan, he must gain the support of Colorado – with all its newfound wealth – to forge the fate of a nation.

    But time is running out. Tensions between the North and the South are heating up. Soon every American will be called on to fight – for the greatest dream of all…

      I love Mrs. Jeffries and her crew, and this book was one of the best in this series. For those not in the know Mrs. Jeffries and the rest of the staff at Upper Edmonton Gardens work for Inspector Witherspoon. They love to get involved in his murder cases and with their access and their Mrs. Jeffries smarts, they always end up helping their beloved inspector. The setting for these books is Victorian England. I just completed watching the entire Upstairs Downstairs original series as it was appearing weekly on a televison station, and totally loved it all over again. And when I read this book I couldn't help comparing the characters from the tv series to the characters in this book. Mrs. Jeffries is like Rose in Upstairs Downstairs. Mrs. Goudge is the cook is so like Mrs. Bridges in the television series. Phyllis is the maid in the books and is very much like Ruby in the series. Wiggins is the footman, so is like a young Edward, the footman in Upstairs Downstairs. Smythe is the coachman in these books. No real correlation in the tv series, but in a way he's like Hudson who is the butler in the tv series. It was fun reading this book with these comparisons. For anyone who likes Victorian cozies, this series is a treat.
