Bookworm On a Shelf

 The book sets out the facts pretty well and the Hamilton and Burr team up seems suprising until it isn't but what let me down was the fact that there isn't enough intrigue . The narrative is structured in such a way that blame is laid squarely on one individual at the start. The case was like that but we all know the charm of the murder mystery should be the mystery part which emerges towards the end and the story is more of legal maneuvering than mystery solving.  The start also is a bit too long and detailed for my taste , the atmosphere the author tries to create ends up choking us with its excessive detailing. The story seems like it would do better in a smaller book.
