Fox is a woman to admire; in spite of a poor childhood, Fox has grown to be an independent, confident business woman and scout. Matthew Tanner arrives and asks to hire her for a journey from Carson City, Nevada to Denver, Colorado so he can ransom his father.
It just so happens that Fox wants to go to Denver to kill her former step-father who stole her inheritance and sent her to live in poverty. She sees Tanners arrival as a sign that this is the time to kill him.
The characters are fully-developed and one of the most charming is the black man named Peaches. He has been Foxs constant companion for several years, teaching her everything he knows. He understands Foxs anger (he worked at the home of the aunt where the step-father dropped her off). However, he has been trying to talk Fox out of killing; they both know that she will hang.
Over the course of the 3 month trip, Tanner and Fox become enamored with each other. Tanner comes from money and wealth while Fox has never had those advantages.
Fox suggests starting a liaison with Tanner. He refuses because he has nothing to offer her; she says she will accept the fact that their liaison will end when they reach Denver. Reluctantly, Tanner agrees.
This book has it all; probably the funniest part of the book is the argument Tanner and Fox have over the wife he DOESNT have. I laughed so hard!
I found this to be a quick story because I couldnt put it aside to do housework (I cant imagine why).
