"With her independent spirit and youthful determination, Miss Jones is virtually invincible," raved The New York Times Book Review upon meeting Dianne Day's spunky and appealing new heroine in her debut, The Strange Files of Fremont Jones. Now Fremont Jones returns, awakened by a terrible rumbling, and nearly crushed by a falling armoire, to find herself in the midst of the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.In the confusion and devastation that ensues, Fremont volunteers for the Red Cross, and learns to drive an automobile to transport supplies and handsome doctors, sparking romances along the way. Her sleuthing cohort, the elusive Michael Archer, vanishes, leaving Fremont alone to sleuth the mysteries uncovered by the earthquake and to wrestle with her romantic feelings for Michael. A smuggler's cache unearthed by the disaster leads Fremont straight into kidnapped by murderous Ninjas, Fremont must find her way to safety—thwarted at every turn, as even friends become suspect. Alone Fremont picks her way through the menacing ruins of San Francisco and narrowly escapes with her life.

Fremont follows her own desires and wills (sometimes to her detriment) but always comes thru' grandly in the end, along with her maybe Russian spy lover. They are a pretty good read and if you are big on San Francisco history you will enjoy the backstory and history included in the plot.

I found the first book very enjoyable and was looking forward to the second one but...I found it a bit flat. Although I did like how her relationship with Michael Archer seems to have evolved and the setting describing the aftermath of the big earthquake was interesting and the mystery involving her roommate and missing aunt was very enjoyable...I just didn't care much for the ninjas. They were just sort of sprung upon the reader. Also, I didn't care much for Freemont's attitude towards Private Albright. He tried asking her out a few times and trying to get to know her and she was rather cold towards him. I found her cold attitude contradictory towards her helping/caring attitude she distrubuted towards the Red Cross, doctors and ect.

Loved this one even more than the first book. I was sad to find out that Dianne Day passed away so there are only six books in the series.

The book arrived in fine shape. This book filled in & explained some things in subsequent books in the series which we'd previously read.

　15年も待ったけど、出ないから原書を読みました。
　英語苦手なので、かなり四苦八苦。微妙にニュアンスのわからないところもありましたが……。

　やっぱり面白いじゃないですか！
　１９０６年のサンフランシスコ大地震によって、フリモント嬢も大ピンチに！
　１巻に登場した暗い司書が重要な役どころになったり、マイクルとの仲がますます面白くなってきたり。
　あと、自動車の運転を覚えて愛車『マックスウェル』を駆るフリモント嬢は、とっても魅力的ですぞ。
　残念なのは、あの仕込み杖がなくなっちゃうこと。残念でなりません。
　その代わりにデリンジャーを手に入れたりしますが、これもまた重要なキーアイテムだったり……。
　１巻以上に、アクティブなお嬢さんだし、モテモテだったりします。

　きちんと細かいところも把握したいので、ぜひとも邦訳を！
　待っています！
