Duel with the devil : the true story of how… par Paul Collins

If you are interested in the Hamilton/Burr duel-choose another title. The author may have misled people in putting duel in the title, but I won't quibble with much else. Enjoyable to see how a homicide was "investigated" ( practically not at all) and prosecuted in the days of early America. Sme folks complained that there was not enough to get a sense of the characters, but, considering how long ago it was and how little would remain of your average citizen- I thought he did a great job

The murder of the century : the Gilded Age crime… par Paul Collins

true crime is my guilty secret-but when it is well done, it is as good as any fiction. This was really well done. You get a sense of the time, the society, the role that newspapers played in making the news instead of just reporting it. Really enjoyed

Sixpence House: Lost in a Town of Books par Paul Collins

This is the book I wish I had written. There is a specific plot - moving from San Francisco to Hay-on-Wye - but there are a lot of tangents that are all about books books books, which to me is great great great. This is now in my top favorite books.

The Murder of the Century: The Gilded Age Crime That… par Paul Collins

Ugh. The subject matter is great but the writing style is awful. DNF at page 50.
