Fascinating. Couldn't put it down.

The rest of the books of 2018 will have a lot to live up to. I was absolutely enthralled with the characters and the fact that most of this is completely true is mind-boggling. I kept going to encyclopedias and other records when it seemed to be too cloak and dagger, only to find that Harris stuck quite closely to the facts. Tragic and captivating, I highly recommend this no matter your genre preference!
