This novel is called Chasing Lincoln's Killer. It is a fantastic book and it is very interesting in the end. When someone reads this book they are going to learn a lot about history because this book talks about how life was back when Lincoln was president. They also talked about Lincoln's life and John Wilkes Booth’s life. The author of this book is James L. Swanson. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars because the beginning of the book is slow paced. The age I would recommend this book is for ages 12-18 because you learn a lot about history and this is the age to learn about these kinds of things. This book is for people who enjoy reading about history.
