Richard Todd, an award-winning writer, is outwardly successful but inwardly plagued by uncertainties. Worst of all, he can’t seem to write any more. When a bright young editor, Jenny Lambe, arrives on his doorstep to work with him on his latest book, about the assassination of US president James Garfield, his life is sent spinning off in a new direction.
President Garfield was killed by Charles Guiteau, who was tried and hanged for the murder. But was he acting along, or was there a more sinister force at work? Richard hears Guiteau’s voice in his head, and as his relationship with Jenny deepens, he is visited by other characters in the drama. Are they helping Richard solve the mystery surrounding Garfield’s murder – or pushing him further towards the edge?
My Thoughts
Now this is not my normal read or what I would reach out for but for some reason I was pulled in by it. It really fascinated me, So I am glad I gave it a read.
It is an action packed book with love, guilt, betrayal and the fall out consequences like a domino effects of people's actions. It was a very much "who has done it" situation and leaves you really thinking about.
When I first met Richard and his assistance Jenny I initially wasn't too blown away but the more the story developed and the narrative grow so did there characters and I liked that. Also the other characters we meet, pack a punch and give the dimension to story whereby Richard has to find the answers and will he come to a conclusion.
It is also a unique way of writing that gives it that extra depth when you are reading . There is also a very unexpected twist to the story!! I liked the merge of the historical event and fiction coming together.
