A HOUSE DIVIDED

This is another good book in the early years about Abraham Lincoln and his friends. This is when he was a lawyer. Thers been a murder and two brothers are trying to pen it on there other brother. Archibald saved Joshua's life and he feels indebted to him. He is determined to free him. This is a good western mystery book. Lloyd James does a great job narrating this book.

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 The writing is brilliant with its careful attention to historical references being woven into the fiction.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!

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.
