A review by guypaul
The Scandalous Hamiltons: A Gilded Age Grifter, a Founding Father's Disgraced Descendant, and a Trial at the Dawn of Tabloid Journalism by Bill Shaffer

3.0

An intriguing subject surrounded by a multitude of superfluous details. I was only able to stay with the book because the author's style of writing is pleasant and flowing. He certainly knows the history of his subjects but by sharing so many of the dull ones along with the juicy bits he has weakened the overall story.
