Unabridged Audiobook
For anyone looking about for a sketch of wartime Washington or glimpse inside the Lincoln White House, this is the perfect read. John Hay as the character around which all revolves is another strength, but for me the plot took too long to unfold hampered by turns of description that slowed the pace to a crawl at times. The narrator was adept at balancing the subtle accent differences and did a nice job conveying Hay's quandaries and puzzlement at being detailed to move from secretary to the President to lead investigator and proved a key to my pressing through to the conclusion.
