Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-06 00:00:00 Jorge Pena Duran Usually this would be a 4 star book for me. It's a well-done examination of the end of Meriweather Lewis' life but even though I live near the Trace and the monument to Lewis, the exploration of those events could have used a little editing in my mind. The biggest issue I had with the book was even though it's only 6 years old, there was a casual condescension to POC and women that bothered me.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-03-21 00:00:00 Todd Chidester Ugh! This one took a nosedive from its predecessor. The murderer doesn't make any sense. I actually said "what?"out loud at the reveal. Rookie move of making the vllian mentally ill. COMPLETELY gratuitous use of the n-word (in passing by a one scene character with no name). The mystery makes no sense either. The characters are meant to be highly educated scientists and yet they accept as evidence the most completely absurd things (there was a red haired man living with the "indians" therefore it just be Meriwether Lewis). It was SO BAD. I almost didn't read the last 20 pages. SO BAD!!!
