Query: A Captivating 19th C. Police Chase

While all Americans know the name John Wilkes Booth, Swanson's page turner introduces the man and chronicles his adventures from the planning of Lincoln's assassination to his eventual secret burial.I couldn't put the book down as I craved to know what Booth and his companion would do next. It's rare that I can know how a story will end but be as captivated as if it's a complete mystery.Others have argued over trivial details but I thought the author did a wonderful job in really minimizing speculation and relying on actual accounts to tell the tale. It's very rare that we find Sawnson speculating on what the subject was thinking or doing.One criticism that I do have of his writing is his constant reminders that Booth was an actor. Each encounter is repeatedly referred to as a new stage, audience, and performance. Swanson could have been a little more creative in his writing.
