“Historical action, romance, and modern mystery unite as Maggie and her crew solve the mystery of The Spy on the Tennessee Walker.”
— Foreword Reviews
“The Spy on the Tennessee Walker is deliciously entertaining! Through old letters, flashbacks, and the modern-day investigations of the San Francisco–based Fiori family, the secrets of Civil War nurse Victoria Alma Cardworthy are finally unraveled, a hundred and fifty years later. Amateur sleuth Maggie Fiori is a thoroughly contemporary character, but thanks to author Linda Lee Peterson’s facility with historic fiction, Victoria will capture every reader’s heart.”
— Edgar Award–winning author Naomi Hirahara, author of the Mas Arai and Ellie Rush mystery series
“The Spy on the Tennessee Walker is an eloquent and impassioned love letter to history and heroism, Southern cooking and storytelling, secret-keeping and clever sleuthing, and—above all—to smart, sassy, and fearless women. ‘Write what you know,’ goes the old saying. Linda Lee Peterson wrote the book—again!—on smart, sassy, and fearless.”
— New York Times–bestselling author Jefferson Bass
"A captivating tale of generations-long hidden secrets of spies, forbidden love, and the Civil War. I am a Linda Lee Peterson fan."
— Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon and New York Times-bestselling author of My Sister's Grave
