Instagram book blogger @candygirl73reads reviewed my book today and what a great summation of the story:
This really intrigued me when I read the synopsis, how can one man be involved in two of the biggest crimes in the 19th century? How was he connected to both, and was he the only one?
There is lots of background about Tumblety and his association with both Lincoln and Booth, and how he came to be in London at the time of the most notorious murders ever. A huge amount of the early part of the book tells us about his life and how he made his fortunes, what kind of man he was and the type of life and career he had in America.
This book is written well, in a way that doesn’t overload you with information all at once but spreads it out in a much easier format to follow. A lot of other books are referenced throughout if you’d like further reading about Tumblety or the two crimes involved.
