The Lincoln Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill America's 16th President—And Why It Failed by Brad Meltzer, Josh Mensch

4.0

I'll be honest that books like this are not normally for me, but y'all, I LOVE these books by Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch. They read just like a thriller, and that's what keeps me turning the pages. I also appreciate that they talk about happenings in history that you likely don't know about, but are important to know - both what happened and what could have been. This was fascinating to hear about the realities of this time and to learn even more of Lincoln's story. Obviously, I knew that the country was divided, but to truly understand what that division meant for the president-elect was new to me, and again, it was just such a well-written exploration of this part of history. I hope there are more of these books to come because they're so damn good.
