The assassination has seldom been considered a serious topic for historians and has never been treated with the objectivity and thoroughness Hanchett brings to bear on the subject. Allured by the confusion and mystery which have enshrouded the assassination from the beginning, other more adventurous writers have leaped into the breach with both plausible and farfetched conspiracy theories involving Confederate leaders and anti-war Democrats, Andrew Johnson or Edwin M.
Hanchett with precision and humor puts these theories top rest and sets the record straight. Hanchett realizes that these myths cannot be laid to rest by ignoring them.
They must be answered directly, and his answers - so plausible that they might deceive some readers into thinking they were easily arrived at - are quite original, are the product of careful digging and clear thinking. There might be a person or two in the country capable of mustering the detailed knowledge necessary to refute literature Hanchett attacks, but none, I'm certain, could do so with such graceful style.

I especially enjoyed references to the Croatian areas since my family originally lived on the island of Brac. Another enjoyable tale by Ms.
This book makes me want to win the lottery so my husband and I can charter a yacht with a few other couples and join Jeni and Zach on a cruise to Hvar, Trogir and Split. I'll leave the rescue efforts to Jeni and have a glass of wine on the deck!
I really enjoyed this book! Makes me want to take a vacation!
This was a fun, fast weekend read. I really thoroughly the foreign setting of the book, and the description of the scenery and architecture really made me want to travel to Croatia, Romania, and even Montenegro.
Diocletian's Palace sounds amazing. The book had a lot of twists and turns, but it tied together really nicely in the end.
I wish I could write more, but I don't want to give away too much of the plot. If you like mysteries, you will love it! I love to travel to non-touristy locations and I love a good mystery. Adriatic Allure satisfies both. Jane does it again! This would make a great gift for Christmas too! My book club consists of an interesting mix of women and we all love Jane Golden.
Her merger of travel and mystery in Adriatic Allure will be a new favorite. If you do have a talent, you will rise to the top. I think it goes back to old campfire tales and things like that. What happens to us when we die? They deal with our mortal fears but also, in a weird sort of way, they provide comfort as well. Many horror movies have become notorious for what has been termed "torture porn".
Its director, Robert Eggers, has told how he realised he had to make a movie that was personal to him and did not involve him sacrificing his values. But if it's part of human nature to enjoy being spooked, one question remains. Why do we queue up to be terrified alongside hundreds of others in a crowded cinema? Everyone is scared together in a communal environment and I think that's greatly appealing.
