I love the author&#8217;s detailed research, I love the time period, and I love Abigail Adams. (Okay, so I&#8217;m not so in love with John Adams, but that&#8217;s a petty detail.)<br \/>\nThis is an excellent follow up to the debut mystery featuring Abigail Adams as the amateur sleuth. The mystery itself is fairly straightforward, but what makes this book such a lovely read is the incorporation of historical detail and a glimpse into the lives of the Adams family. Abigail is as wonderful as I imagine her&#8211;intelligent, warm, accessible and very human.<br \/>\nThe backdrop of the impending Revolutionary War makes the story all the more compelling. And the author makes both sides&#8211;the revolutionaries and the British soldiers&#8211;personable and three dimensional and real. I look forward to what I hope is a lengthy multiple book series!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/1396812-may\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Marked Man by Barbara Hamilton My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love this series (I know&#8211;it&#8217;s only the 2nd book).
