In 1892, running one of the Wests fanciest brothels is a rough game. In a town filled with brazen criminals, corrupt police, zealous politicians, and morality committees, Madam Mattie Silks makes her fortune catering to Colorados gold and silver millionaires. Notorious crime boss Soapy Smith is at the top of the Denver underworld. There are no rules for Smith's gang. They solve problems with bribes and bullets. Mattie's husband stumbles into Soapy's dealings, and she struggles to protect him.

I loved this audio version of The Redemption of Mattie Silks. The author’s words along with the narrator’s voice seemed to transport me back to the 1890’s. I felt like I was standing right there on the streets of Denver watching it all unfold. The depth of the characters, and the attention to details made it one of the most entertaining books I’ve ever read, especially after learning that these characters actually existed. Ms.Burns has brought them all back to life for us to get to know, and I find myself eager to research Mattie Silks and Soapy Smith further. What a fascinating time in US history this was, and this book is the perfect way to get a taste of it.
