Interpretation of Murder.

After reading just the first few pages, I was extremely impressed with the very high quality of the writing.

The integrity of the author as shown by the careful & painstaking research done to accurately portray the historical setting and characters - and the thoughtful afterword in which the author explained his fictional additions for plot purposes - were all greatly appreciated.

The information about the construction of the Manhattan bridge was a wonderful addition. It's worth reading the book just to learn that important piece of American history - (and it features prominently in the plot).

This book has a roller coaster of a plot, with as many twists and turns as anyone could possibly wish for.
