Overall star rating

About the book:
For ten years, an

Bearing a dispatch
from his commander in coastal Wilmington, North Carolina, redcoat Lieutenant
Michael Stoddard arrives in Hillsborough in February 1781 in civilian garb. He
expects to hand a letter to a courier working for Lord Cornwallis, then ride back
to Wilmington the next day. Instead, Michael is greeted by the courier's
freshly murdered corpse, a chilling trail of clues leading back to an execution
ten years earlier, and a sheriff with a fondness for framing innocents--and
plans to deliver Michael up to his nemesis, a psychopathic British officer.

The review --
This story take place
during the beginning of the United States of America. The author has done a
wonderful job setting the story so much so that it feels like the reader has
traveled back in time to witness the events first hand. The characters are wonderfully
developed. The reader can truly understand how the characters are feeling as
the story unfolds. I enjoyed how the author has the characters depend on
someone who could easily be mistreated and underplayed due to being handicap.
It shows that everyone has a role to play. This story is definitely a page turn
so make sure to clear your schedule once you get into it you won't be able to
put it down. There is some fight, flirtation, and murder scenes that could be
much for younger readers.
