The two storylines draw you into a little known period of American history. I enjoyed on of the storylines more than the other, but both were engaging. I was intrigued enough to do reading on the early years of the American government, and it gave me new respect for the founding fathers. Book is recommended.

A compeling tale which keeps you reading and surprised at the ending. One person in the group read the book a year ago and re-reading it found clues she missed the first time around--the book keeps you on your toes.
