I recently saw the movie, The Conspirator, and came away realizing how little I knew about that period in our country's history. A while back, my fellow Muse blogger, Barb Wallace, recommended the book, Manhunt: The 12-Day Hunt for Lincoln's Killer so when I had the chance to start reading my next book I borrowed it from the boyfriend. I got hooked pretty quick and was riveted by James L. Swanson's tale. His writing of the accounts of those twelve days was riveting, but equally impressive was the meticulous research he undertook to get as much detail as possible. Reading the book felt more like reading a suspense novel than a nonfiction book.
Even if you're not interested in history, this book will hold your interest captive.
