Interesting history lesson about the theatre where Lincoln was assassinated.

The descriptions of Washington, D.C. were great. The electricity of the town was aptly portrayed. There were a couple of places, however, that the author seemed to "fit" in place description in an attempt to create mood. However, the method didn't fit in with the voice used in her writing to that point. It was more of a distraction than an aid. The plot was acceptable though not outstanding.

always a good read

Another of Margaret Truman's mysteries. An interesting quick read. Her books always include historical information which I find interesting.

GOOD MYSTERY WRITER

FIRST TIME - I enjoyed it very much - setting in Washington quite interesting

it wasnt what i was expecting based off the title, but i will continue reading her works.

All the characters in this book knew something about Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth. The book starts with a murder at Ford's Theatre's back door. Solving the murder uses history as a back drop. Read it and see if you knew all the history.

Just finished this one .... I have always enjoyed Margaret Truman's writing and this series of books. I think she attempted to 'wrap it up' too soon for my taste. I did figure out who did it about 1/2 way through but I still enjoyed it as a summer read.

Okay book. Gives a lot of history of Ford's Theatre and Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Also covers things about John Wilkes Booth and how he carried out the assassination that I didn't know. Probably better for history than mystery.

As always, the last hundred pages seems to be where the action is.

When the body of Nadia Zarinski who worked for a senator is found behind Ford's Theatre, two mismatched cops, Rick Klayman and Moses "Mo" Johnson, catch the case. Ms Turman scores a hit once again.

Meh. Easy to read, but so is The Cat in the Hat.
