I like the portrayal of Ben Franklin as more of a dissolute rather than the paragon, father of America.
A view of the American war for independence from the British side was interesting and it was about time Jeremy and Clarissa got together.

this was an interesting book, since it dealt with Benjamin Franklin on the cusp of the American War of Independence. Based partially on real events of which I had had no knowledge.

The third book I have read in the Sir John Fielding Mystery, An Experiment in Treason includes several real life characters, including Benjamin Franklin, in a story of murder, torture and espionage. Jeremy Proctor, the young protégé of blind magistrate Sir John Fielding, narrates this story of stolen letters, state secrets, and odd Americans. The streets team with nefarious but engaging characters and Jeremy must help Sir John discover who is torturing and murdering those involved in the theft, all the while learning about what it is to be a man and a lawyer.
An excellent, engaging and enjoyable series.

a fun series and this was no exception.
As an American, I was a little chary of Franklin's honor, though I know he was no saint
