Not up to the author's usual excellent standards. Takes far too long to unravel the Lincoln secret. And the secret is not much. Skip this one.

Great. Fun and filled with history with twists you never knew. Great stuff about Lincoln civil war and Mormon religion and its history. Absolutely love Barry's. Writing mixing suspense with history fact and speculation. Can't wait to read another cotton Malone series. Highly recommended

As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I was extremely offended at Berry's book. This is the first book I've ever read from that author, and because of his lack of integrity in how he portrayed leaders in the church I would not trust his opinion in any subject. He certainly doesn't let truth and facts get in the way of his agenda. I will never read another one of his books.

Interesting book with a good mixture of history and fiction. A bit slow at times but overall a good read.

The author stretched to find a reasonable storyline but failed. What he wrote went beyond plausible & ruined the story.

It's unfortunate that this book trashes a wonderful group of people to build a weak storyline

I really wanted to love this book. I am a fan of Cotton Malone and enjoy reading his adventures. I felt this story was convoluted and at the end I didn't feel the Ah-Ha moment of clarity. I'm still unsure on the importance of several events. If you are also a fan, read the book. It's fun to go into Steve Berry's world. If you are not, pick another book as your first read.

I am a Huge fan of Steve Berry and have read and own everything he has written. My only hope is that Mr Berry reverses his course and does not slip any further into the "Dan Brown Style/Genre" of writing. For the first in any of his books, he has repeated a thought or information so many times that I had to take a break just to cool down. I will continue to be a fan though and look forward to his next offering........ Mike T Camano Island, WA

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I feel that Mr. Berry wrote a fine story. I would like to thank him for his sensitive approach toward the church history, and doctrines. They were well researched.and accurate. The story is very difficult to put down. The chapters are clear, and well defined. Again thnk you for a very well written story
