A few weeks have passed since the Boston Tea Party, and
Abigail Adams, as well as the rest of the residents of
Boston, is nervously waiting to see how the King will react
to the acts of rebellion. Abigail determines that it is safe
for her to visit her nephew Horace, a student at Harvard
University, but finds the young man is gravely ill. Abigail
is concerned when it becomes apparent Horace is a victim of
poisoning, and then a greater tragedy occurs when Horace's
friend, George Fairfield, is murdered.
George's servant Diomede is the convenient suspect, but
Abigail believes in Diomede's innocence, and won't give up
until she finds the truth about the murder. She thinks
George's murder may either related to his loyalist beliefs
or to a mysterious woman who had asked her nephew to
translate an Arabic letter referring to a hidden treasure.
With the help of Horace and other friends, Abigail is
determined to prevent an innocent man from being put to
death for a crime he didn't commit.
In SUP WITH THE DEVIL, the third book in Barbara Hamilton's
Abigail Adams mystery series, the dauntless future First
Lady dives into yet another intriguing mystery, and the
outcome will affect the very country that Abigail's husband
and others are trying to form. This history-laced mystery is
lively and fast moving, and very interesting in content. The
cast of characters are personable, and the story pulls the
reader into the midst of the action itself. Hamilton does a
wonderful job combining history with mystery to create an
enjoyable read for mystery fans and historical fiction fans
alike.
