I finishe;Murder in the Lincoln White House (Lincoln's White House, Bk 1)C. M. Gleason 4 stars out of 5.  Set in March 1861 at President's Lincoln inauguration. I very much enjoyed this book. She writes her characters very well. You want to get to know them. Our main character, Adam Quinn, is from Kansas and has know link since childhool. Ms. Gleason of  President Lincoln is a mild man who is trying to do right by the country. She brings alive the issue of slavery and the fear of the Free people of color who lived in Washington DC at that time.  She does a wonderful description of fashion at the inaugeral ball and dealing with all the hoop skirts.  I hope to find book 2 and read that soon.
