To Slip the Bonds of Earth

Praise for Amanda Flower’s Historical Mysteries

"A fresh and engrossing historical mystery with the real-life sister of Orville and Wilbur Wright as its protagonist. Like her famous brothers, Katharine is a woman ahead of her time, intelligent, and keenly observant. Flowers pulled me effortlessly into Katharine’s story and kept me turning the pages until the very satisfying end. Looking forward to seeing this series soar!" —Dianne Freeman, author of the award-winning Countess of Harleigh mysteries on To Slip the Bonds of Earth
