The Assassin's Accomplice: Mary Surratt and the Plot to Kill Abraham Lincoln Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Very detailed historical book that reads like a James Patterson mystery/thriller. "

" Details recounting the plot and death of Abraham Lincoln and the role of Mary Surrate.Historically discriptive and engaging. "

" Impeccably researched. Intriguing how much Mary really knew. "

" I never knew that the first woman executed in the United States was Mary Surrat for her involvement in the Lincoln assassination. "

" Generally a good book, but a few careless errors are made. "

" Very good historical read - I wanted to read the history behind The Conspirator after leaving the theater sure the movie wasn't very historically accurate, and this didn't disappoint. "

" I never really felt like I knew who I was reading about. The author skipped around and it was hard to follow. I also missed having more description of the people involved. What they looked like, sounded like. With all the press coverage of the time I would think that would have been included. "

" Read for book club, Interesting parts but my biggest frustration here was that the author had already decided on the complete guilt of this character and it felt as if everything was skewed in that direction. Not one I would recommend. I prefer more fact based history "

" I chose to listen to the audio version. That might have been a mistake. I couldn't tell if the book was dry or if it was the reader or both. Anyway, I didn't finish it. I may go back to it someday....or I may just read the Wikipedia entry (if there is one). "

" I loved this book. It starts off a little bit slowly, but is very informative and intriguing. "

" Very interesting topic but not always an interesting book. Such a historical event should be given the treatment it deserves instead of a dry one. I would recommend it, but with some reservation. "

" A little tedious, as it reads like a historical documentary (which it is)... not much for drama, setting, character development, etc. But a good record of the conspiracy leading up to Lincoln's assassination. "

" very interesting & well written "

" A wonderful and indepth look at the life and times of Mary Surrat---and her possible role in the Lincoln assasination. "

" Read for the Rolla Book club. Interesting book, I guess I have little knowledge of the Civil War and Lincoln's death. "

" Was there enough evidence to convict Mary Surratt? The author feels there was. The trial in light of todays trials makes interesting reading. "

" Good, short book about Mary Suratt's involvement in the Lincoln assassination plot. "

" audio book, i enjoyed it. helped me understand conspiracy, etc. "

" OK. We all know how this story ends but couldn't Ms. Larson make it more interesting than she did??? "

" The conspirators treatment of Weichmann was just despicable. That being said, I really liked the book. Very interesting and well written. "

" Interesting historical account of the first woman executed in the US- academic but readable. "

" Generally a good book, but a few careless errors are made. "

" I read this a few months ago, but it was slow-going. "

" I am really enjoying this book. I went to see Kate Clifford Larson talk about the book in Richmond and thoroughly enjoyed it - she really made the story come to life and her written account of Mary's life only adds to that. A must for any history buff. "

" Learned alot about the plot to murder Lincoln and Mary Surratt's life. "

" A wonderful and indepth look at the life and times of Mary Surrat---and her possible role in the Lincoln assasination. "

" I had been under the impression for a long time that Mary Surratt was sort of unfortunately caught up in the Lincoln assassination plot. After listening to this book, though, it seems she was in fact up to her eyeballs in the whole thing. Interesting, if a bit dry. "

" I thought the subject matter was more interesting than the actual book. It really does drag a bit in places. "

" A little tedious, as it reads like a historical documentary (which it is)... not much for drama, setting, character development, etc. But a good record of the conspiracy leading up to Lincoln's assassination. "

" Only wetted my appetite for more... "

" Very interesting.....did she or didn't she? This book has me wanting to read all sources I am able to find on this topic. An easy read, informative, and thought provoking. "

" Thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing the movie: The Conspirator. "

" Pretty comprehensive account of the story of the first female executed in the United States. "

" one of the few nonfiction books that I have read lately, but I liked it. I felt the author really took the time and effort to show all angles of the plotting and actual murder of Lincoln in a factual manner. good book. "
