Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite

Karen Maxwellhas been waiting to get a real case. Finally, her brother/boss offers her the opportunity to do some real investigating. Actually, he thought he was getting rid of a case he did not want to handle, and that it would be boring.

It appears the Washington Letters have been stolen from the 1776 house. Karen goes undercover as a soccer mom, which was easy since she is a soccer mom. Therefore, the investigation begins. The supporting characters are wonderfully eccentric. Most are dedicated historians, bent on protecting the integrity of the house museum. One of the people she meets is of particular interest--tall, dark handsome, with no wedding ring!

I LOVE IT! ILOVE IT! I LOVE IT! George Washington Stepped Here is a delightfully funny who-done-it. This is not deep reading; it is pleasure reading. If you enjoy a good mystery, don’t miss George Washington Stepped Here.

This was very funny and a really quick read. It's not classic literature with hidden themes that you could write a term paper about, but since I'm not in college, I don't really want to read classic literature with hidden themes that I could write a term paper about. I love the interaction between the detective and her children. The title says this is #1 in a series, so I will definitely be looking out for the next one.

This is K's first mystery, and the first in a series of three. Karen Maxwell is an everyday mom looking for her place in society after having her marriage ripped apart. Using humor and ingenuity, Karen is given her first chance at detective work. Though volunteering at a historical sight in Baltimore is not her idea of fun, Karen's heart is alight by the Blacksmith on sight. Humor & emotions now join Karen as she seeks out the thief. This is an entertaining read with great character development! I loved Karen, and am looking forward to reading about her and her Blacksmith friend in her next adventure!
