I really enjoyed this one. I had no idea how famous John Wilkes Booth was before the assassination, nor that he came from a family of actors. This is not a time period I typically read a lot about, so I was really glad I snatched this one up. I found the information about Booth's family to be just as interesting as the new-to-me information about him.

Basically, the story of the brothers Wilkes-Booth: John (who shot US President Lincoln at Ford Theatre) and his two brothers, Junius and Edwin (both actors).

It was interesting enough and well written, and would be of more value to someone for whom this period in US history is of interest.

As it is not really my area of interest, it held not spell over me.
