What a fun story this was! Set in the wild west, this follows a young Annie Oakley as she takes a job in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. A murder soon takes place, and Annie has to work to find out what happened.

I really enjoyed that this was a lighter story, really fitting into the cozy mystery genre. It was a fast read that grabbed my attention immediately. The historical setting was described well and gave details that really brought the story to life!

It’s fun to read a story about characters that you already kind of know from history. It made it really easy to get invested in the story!

I listened to this book on audio, and the narrator did a great job. If you are an audio listener, I would absolutely recommend this one!
