Scarlett St. John is a lonely rich woman who can’t seem to follow society’s rules on being proper. She relies on her grandfather and his servants to keep her entertained from day to day until… an ancient artifact is stolen from her grandfather and a Pinkerton Agent arrives to solve the crime. Although Travis Hancock is very handsome and charming, he had broken her heart as a young girl, and she … she doesn’t think she can forgive him. But when the Pinkerton agent involves her in the case of finding the priceless artifact, she’s anxious to find her grandfather’s ancient shield. Suddenly, the hunt becomes exciting and working with an agent isn’t that terrible. Quite the opposite, in fact. The sweetly conniving man just might change her mind about forgiving him after all.

Scarlett is my kind of woman. She loves adventure and mystery and isn’t too worried about society’s rules. I loved her character. It’s no surprise Travis is quickly drawn to her and they are able to renew their friendship. This story was a lot of fun to read. There were some things I guessed rather early on, but as usual with Ms. Higgins there were some twists I wasn’t expecting.
I absolutely loved this book! Travis and Scarlett’s story has so many twists and turns that keep you reading way past your bedtime. There are also some parts that keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved this book and I bet you will too! Go ahead and give it a try!
I received an advance copy of this book and I voluntarily wrote an honest review.
When something is stolen from her grandfather Scarlett is happy with the help of a Pinkerton Agent but why does it have to be Travis, the one who broke her heart. Will solving the case bring them closer to each other so she can forgive him?
This is a really entertaining story with fun characters. It’s different from the others in this series.
An Agent for Scarlett is a very enjoyable story. Scarlett is more than a little unconventional and ahead of her time. When Travis who had hurt her in the past arrives as a Pinkerton agent to search for Scarlett’s grandfather’s missing artifact, Scarlett becomes interested in the search in spite of trying to keep Travis at arm’s length. This book has well drawn characters and an interesting plot. It easily held my attention.
It was engaging and refreshing a well written book and furnished it with an outstanding cast of characters, emotional, suspenseful, understanding and forgiveness.
Scarlett becomes a Pinkerton Agent when a valuable item from her grandfathers collection goes missing. She has always done as she pleased and was the talk of the town but when the Pinkerton agent Travis comes to investigate he was her school crush and he inlist her help with his investigation. This is a sweet romance/suspense with the very unique Scarlett and Travis. Loved the story and even more loved the characters.
I liked this book because it is different from the other Pinkerton story books. Scarlett is not the usual western woman-wearing men’s clothes, riding like a man, investigating her grandfather’s stolen item. Travis doesn’t know quite what to make of her behavior until he decides to have her help him. They make a great team. I received an ARC. This is my honest, voluntary opinion.
Exciting, funny, entertaining, suspenseful and romantic. Excellent addition to the Pinkerton Matchmaker series.
Marie Higgins has given us a switch up on the usual Pinkerton employment for young ladies. We start with solving the mystery and then come together as agent and potential agent. This is a fun story and I think Scarlett and Travis will be a very successful team.
Scarlett St John did not like gossip, yet it seemed she was always on the lips of those in town. Yes, she did flaunt convention a little by wearing trousers and riding her house but what of it? Haven grown up. Living with her grandfather, a prominent man about town didn’t seem to stop them from talking either. She had been lonely and never thought any man would be interested in her.
But when an artifact goes missing from her grandfather’s collection, the journey begins. The Pinkerton agent they send to investigate is non other than her teenager crush, Travis Hancock, she doesn’t think she can stand it. When he involves her in the case, the adventure begins!
I have so enjoyed all the Pinkerton series and Marie Higgins always brings her wonderful writing into play and I can never put the book down once I turn the first page! Loved it!
An Agent For Scarlett is another in the Pinkerton Matchmaker series. This specific book is a very suspenseful, and on the end of your chair story like only Marie Higgins can twist. It has all the emotions that any reader of this series are looking for. Another couple that Archie will be glad to make a Pinkerton agent team, but they will be marrying for love and not in name only.
