Harrigan Mahoney was hired by Ella Carson's uncle to return her to Philadelphia (from her 3 year stay in Wyoming). Although he was told Ella would not be happy about it, Harrigan had no idea of the trouble he would have in completing this task.
From the first, Ella warns Harrigan that she is returning to her death (her uncle plans to kill her for her inheritance); Harrigan is a man of honor and doesn't accept her theory. Harrigan doesn't really hear Ella's explanation because he has family problems of his own. He is the last chance for his family to recoup a portion of their fortune. Harrigan lost it while engaged to Ella's cousin.
It seems that 2 of Ella's cousins repeatedly become engaged to young men of promise; when the young men lose their fortunes, the women drop them. Ella explains that the young women find out enough about their fiancée's business to help their own family (quietly) undercut and overtake those businesses. Why no one in Philadelphia has figured this out yet is beyond me; combined, the 2 cousins have executed this scheme more than 10 times!
Aunt Louise, with whom Ella has been living those 3 years, is determined to get Ella back. Ella helps by always looking for a way to escape. Aunt Louise and her helpers add a touch of humor to the book.
The explanation of the 2 cousins sort of ruined this story for me. The end was overly contrived too. However, most of the story was interesting and entertaining. 3.5 stars
