Wild Rover No More: Being The Last Recorded Account Of The Life And Times Of Jacky Faber (Bloody Jack Adventures) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Jacky Faber is framed as passing confidential U.S. information to the British. Forced to flee Boston, she goes undercover as a governess for a prominent Puritan family. When outed by a nosy postmaster, she deserts the respectability of her position, dons a leotard and slippers, and poses as a Russian tightrope walker in a traveling circus. But the law soon catches up with her, and prospects do not look good. Through her many adventures, Jacky has always found the ingenuity to escape dire situations, but this time it looks like Puss in Boots has run out of lives . . . and her happily-ever-after will be cut short at the foot of the gallows.

i am a loyal bloody jacky faber fan, having read the series and several of the earlier books twice (i believe the best are the first five). this last is a fun read, particularly the turn jacky does as governess to the children of a plymouth banker (this could have been longer, imo). and the climax, shown on the cover, was well done (albeit not truly hard to anticipate) to a point. then, for me, things sort of fell apart. i realize this is a very tall tale but it has stayed within some vague bounds of possibility, mostly. to have the final (?) wrap-up so loose-ended and courting of disaster seems more than necessary for a possible sequel and strains credulity to the max.spoiler alert: when jacky and her friends are at dovecote celebrating their fooling of the authorities, those who know that jacky is not dead can basically sit around a (large) table. the plan now is for her to board the nancy b., soon to be off dovecote, and sail away, presumably with the authorities still believing she has been executed (and probably to link up with jaimy later). not an easy secret to keep but then bigger ones have been kept, at least semi-successfully. imo the biggest question mark is the fate of the real hangman and marshal. it is implied they will be released in a few days. if they are merely released, what then? certainly the authorities will suspect they have been conned. what then? in addition, their kidnapping was by force and involved threats of death. any agent would be glad to recount this reason for not making the execution. as many times as potions have done the job in the jacky series, this time seems ripe for it.
