I love history almost as much as I love mysteries. I enjoyed Brad Meltzer’s show “Decoded,” and I have been a fan of his books for years. He always has interesting tales and twists on things we think we know.

What I’ve Been Reading…

I enjoyed Meltzer/Mensch’s THE LINCOLN CONSPIRACY: The Secret Plot to Kill America’s 16th President - And Why It Failed. He has a knack for making stories and history interesting. I love the detail in this about Kate Warne, America’s first female detective and the Pinkerton Agency. He and Mensch researched a lot of Baltimore history ahead of Lincoln’s first inauguration. It’s a fast read, and even though we know most of the players and the story, it’s a page turner to see how a small group prevented Lincoln’s assassination in 1861.

What’s up Next

I’m reading PLANTATION SHUDDERS by Ellen Bryon. Now I’ll be caught up on her Cajun Country Mysteries and ready for her next one.
