Why read it?
1 author picked The Conductors as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Most of all, I love Hetty Rhodes, the magic user who solves crimes. A former conductor on the Underground Railroad, Hetty is courageous, smart, and resourceful. The subplot of Hetty’s romance with Benjy is a lovely addition to an absorbing tale.
From Lynn's list on psychic sleuths supernatural and fantasy creatures.
