I never want these stories to end!

This is the fourth book in this amazing series. This stories are engaging and believable, and always keep me guessing! I love the way Mr. Putnam has woven accurate historical people and events into his tales. I love his explanations of the real history at the end. And finally Lloyd James is probably the best narrator I have ever heard! His dramatizations make a great book grand!! I can’t wait for the next story!

Excellent Story!!

I can't wait for the next book in this series! The writing is brilliant with its careful attention to historical references being woven into the fiction. The narration is spot on and soothing to my ears.

I've listened to all 4 of the books available here in this series and have enjoyed them all immensely!

Most interesting case, a well-told tale.

I'm keeping an eye out for Putnam's next Lincoln & Speed adventure. Hope it's soon!

very entertaining

I was skeptical but I found this book to be very interesting and suspended my disbelief and enjoyed every minute

Interesting

But seems to target young kids and then has explicit sex scenes. I enjoyed it with mixed feelings. My second or third Lincoln and Soeed mystery... my unsureness assures me they aren’t the best, but still riveting.

Great! Especially for an included book.

A little slow to start but a really good listen. Recommend it. Enjoyed the narrator.

Young Abraham - Lawyer

The book revolves around the young Abraham Lincoln and his friends interact as he works as a lawyer. The cases he solves are based on ones he actually dealt with. The narrator hit just the right tone in Abe Lincoln’s voice and inflection.

Surprised

I stay away from semi historical writings,worth the listen, enjoyable narrator, story colorful, period appropriate.

house divided.

when I first heard this it almost sounded like a onset of the civil war. but it wasn't its pertaining to three brothers and their loyalty with each other. quite good and is more of a historical fiction.

Moves too slow for me,

I dumped out after three hours, it just moved so slow. However it could be me, I may not be in the right mode for a well thought out storyline with develop over the reading. Covid has made me that way, maybe I'll come back later
